Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 23:10 - destroy the city 1 Samuel 23:23 - I will search Psalms 10:5 - His Isaiah 57:21 - General Isaiah 59:7 - wasting
Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Destruction - That is, they “cause” the destruction or the ruin of the reputation, happiness, and peace of others.
Misery - Calamity, ruin.
In their ways - Wherever they go. This is a striking description not only of the wicked then, but of all times. The tendency of their conduct is to destroy the virtue, happiness, and peace of all with whom they come in contact.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Romans 3:16. Destruction and misery are in their ways — DESTRUCTION is their work, and MISERY to themselves and to the objects of their malice is the consequence of their impious and murderous conduct.
