Romans 3:14

“Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.] These words are taken from (<191007>Psalm 10:7), by cursing is meant, cursing of God, which is sometimes internal with the heart, and sometimes external with the mouth, as here; and of all good men, though without cause, and to no purpose with respect to the persons they curse, since God has blessed them, and they are blessed, and greatly to their own detriment, for, in the issue, their curses will be turned against themselves. There is also a cursing of superiors, as parents, masters, magistrates, kings, and governors; which is a sore evil, and attended with bad consequences; likewise of themselves, and their fellow creatures: and “the mouth…”

“Whose mouth, &c.-- (Psa 10:7): that is, "That mouth which should be 'most sweet' (Sol 5:16), being 'set on fire of hell' (Jam 3:6), is filled with burning wrath against those whom it should only bless."”

“Whose mouth - Psalms 10:7. The apostle has not quoted this literally, but has given the sense. David in the psalm is describing his bitter enemies. Cursing - Reproachful and opprobrious language, such as Shimei used in relation to David; 2 Samuel 16:5, 2 Samuel 16:7-8. Bitterness - In the psalm, deceits. The word “bitterness” is used to denote severity, harshness, cruelty; reproachful and malicious words. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Cursing - Against God. Bitterness - Against their neighbour. Psa 10:7. Romans 3:15”
