Contextual Overview

¹What's so great about bein' a Jew and having your pickle clipped? ²Well, more than you might think! First off, God trusted them with his story. ³Now some of them didn't believe his story. But just because some of them turned their backs on God, doesn't mean he's gonna turn his back on us. ⁴God never screws up like we do. He don't screw up at all. The Good Book says, "You and truth are tied hard and fast. You are unfazed by rejection." ⁵But if our sorry ways go to show just how good God is, why would God punish us for making him look good? (That's just the cowpuncher in me talkin'.) ⁶That's foolish talk. God is completely fair and the only one qualified to judge the whole world. ⁷Still others will argue, "If my lies reveal God's honesty, what is wrong with that?" ⁸Others have gone on to twist our words and tell people we have said the more you sin the better it is for God. Those counterfeits will get what's comin' to 'em. ⁹Is it safe to say the Jews are better off than everyone else? Nope! Jews and outsiders (those who were not born Jews) are all under the power of sin. ¹⁰The Good Book says, "No one is good enough for God—not one single cowboy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Their feet are swift to shed blood. The sins of the heart and mouth are before described, and now the sins of action are taken notice of; for "the feet" are the instruments of motion and action: and when these are said to be "swift to shed blood", it denotes the readiness and eagerness of men, to murder innocent creatures; which shows the dreadful malice and hatred that is in them. The words are cited from Isaiah 59:7, and seem to point at the times of Manasseh, who shed so much innocent blood, as to fill Jerusalem with it from one end to the other.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Their feet ... - The quotation in this and the two following verses, is abridged or condensed from Isaiah 59:7-8. The expressions occur in the midst of a description of the character of the nation in the time of the prophet. The apostle has selected a few expressions out of many, rather making a reference to the entire passage, than a formal quotation. The expression, “their feet are swift,” etc., denotes the eagerness of the nation to commit crime, particularly deeds of injustice and cruelty. They thirsted for the blood of innocence, and hasted to shed it, to gratify their malice, or to satisfy their vengeance.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Romans 3:15. Their feet are swift to shed blood — They make use of every means in their power to destroy the reputation and lives of the innocent.
