<p>3:15&nbsp;<i>Their feet are swift to shed blood</i>- Paul may be quoting this and applying it to us all in the sense that he gave full weight to the Lord&rsquo;s teaching that the hateful thought is as bad as murder. Or he may be wishing to shock us with the extent of our sinful position (see on Rom. 3:14).</p><p>Eliphaz thought there were only a few very sinful people in the world (Job 15:35); but His words are quoted by the Spirit in Is. 59:4 concerning the whole nation of Israel; and this in turn is quoted in Rom. 3:15-17 concerning the whole human race. This same path of progressive realization of our sinfulness must be trodden by each faithful individual, as well as on a communal level.&nbsp;</p>
