Contextual Overview
1 What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision? 2 Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God. 3 For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged. 5 Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shal we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.) 6 God forbid: els how shal God iudge ye world? 7 For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner? 8 And (as we are blamed, & as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust. 9 What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne, 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Their feet are swift to shed blood. The sins of the heart and mouth are before described, and now the sins of action are taken notice of; for "the feet" are the instruments of motion and action: and when these are said to be "swift to shed blood", it denotes the readiness and eagerness of men, to murder innocent creatures; which shows the dreadful malice and hatred that is in them. The words are cited from Isaiah 59:7, and seem to point at the times of Manasseh, who shed so much innocent blood, as to fill Jerusalem with it from one end to the other.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Their feet ... - The quotation in this and the two following verses, is abridged or condensed from Isaiah 59:7-8. The expressions occur in the midst of a description of the character of the nation in the time of the prophet. The apostle has selected a few expressions out of many, rather making a reference to the entire passage, than a formal quotation. The expression, “their feet are swift,” etc., denotes the eagerness of the nation to commit crime, particularly deeds of injustice and cruelty. They thirsted for the blood of innocence, and hasted to shed it, to gratify their malice, or to satisfy their vengeance.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Romans 3:15. Their feet are swift to shed blood — They make use of every means in their power to destroy the reputation and lives of the innocent.
