Romans 3:13-18 Part 3 of 4

"Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit."  "The poison of vipers is on their lips."  "Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."  "Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know."  "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

 

Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness 

Psalm 10:7  His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.

Psalm 73:8  They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression. 

Job 20:12-14  "Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue, though he cannot bear to let it go and lets it linger in his mouth, yet his food will turn sour in his stomach; it will become the venom of serpents within him."

and the way of peace they do not know 

Isaiah 59:7-8  Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways. The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks along them will know peace.

Isaiah 57:21  "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."

1 Thessalonians 5:3  While people are saying, "Peace and safety," sudden destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
