"Their feet are swift to shed blood.

Verse Takeaways

Sin's Total Corruption

Scholars note this verse is part of a list describing various body parts (throat, tongue, lips, feet) to illustrate how sin corrupts a person's entire being. This concept, often called "total depravity," doesn't mean people are as evil as they could be, but that every part of our nature, including our actions, is tainted by sin and bent toward destruction.
