John Gill Commentary Romans 3:16

"Destruction and misery are in their ways;" — Romans 3:16 (ASV)

Destruction and misery are in their ways . ] This passage also is to be found in (Isaiah 59:7) , and may be understood either actively thus: all the ways they take, and methods they pursue, are to make their fellow creatures miserable, to ruin and destroy them; or passively, that by their sinful ways and vicious course of life, they themselves are brought to destruction and misery: the way they are walking in is, "the broad way, that leadeth to destruction", (Matthew 7:13) ; the end of it, what it issues in, is eternal death, the destruction of the body and soul in hell, which will be attended with endless and inexpressible misery.
