Back to the chapter

Romans 3:15

¹³ “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”

¹⁴ “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”

“Their feet are swift to shed blood;

¹⁶ ruin and misery lie in their wake,

¹⁷ and the way of peace they have not known.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
