This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction [are] in their paths.
Ver. 7. Their feet run to evil, &c.] They trot apace toward hell; they take long strides, as if they feared lest hell should be full before they come thither.
And they make haste to shed innocent blood.] This is taken from Pro_1:16, and fitly applied by St Paul to the whole race of mankind, {Rom_3:15} since by nature there is never a better of us; we are all in a pickle: Ecce hic telas arantarum et ova aspidum explicat. {a}
Wasting and destruction are in their paths.] A metaphor from torrents or tempests; or from a pestilence that sweepeth all, as now it doth at Genoa, and as it did not long since at Naples.
{a} A Lapide.
