Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 59:7

7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, wasting and destruction are in their paths .

This seems to be taken from Prov▪ 1. 16. See the note there. He had spoken of their Hands, Lips, and Heart, &c. before, and now of their Feet, to shew that they were wholly set upon mischief.

i. e. Their heart, and Mind, is set upon doing wrong▪ and injury, they not only do evil, but do it deliberately. You have the wicked described by this kind of working of their thoughts, Psal. 64. 6. they meditate on little or nothing else.

A Metaphor put for the behaviours and carriages of Men; in what way or work soever they are engaged▪ it all tends to ruine and destruction, a Metaphor taken from an overspreading torrent, or sweeping Plague, or Beasts of prey, that tear and devour whatsoever comes in their way.
