Romans 3:16

14 “Whose^a mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”

15 “Their^a feet are swift to shed blood;

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;

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

18 “There^a is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever ^athe law says, it says to those who are under the law, that ^bevery mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become¹ guilty before God.

20 Therefore ^aby the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Romans 3:16

Destruction - That is, they "cause" the destruction or the ruin of the reputation, happiness, and peace of others.

Misery - Calamity, ruin.

In their ways - Wherever they go. This is a striking description not only of the wicked then, but of all times. The tendency of their conduct is to destroy the virtue, happiness, and peace of all with whom they come in contact.
