Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 3:19

19. Now we know that whatsoever things the Law saith, it saith to them who are under the Law , that every mouth may be stopped , and all the world may become guilty before God .

Another Anticipation of an Objection to this purpose. All these Testimonies (might the Iews say) do not concern Us; they concern the Impure and Gentile World only, unless Possibly some prophane Wretches amongst our selves also. But to this the Apostle sayes, We know (which some think hath the force of an Asseveration) that whatsoever the Law of God, more especially the Mosaical Law, or more Generally all that is contained in the Scripture, saith of the Wickedness and Defection of Mankind; it saith to the Iews more particularly, to whom the Law was given, and who are under the Conduct of it; much the same with that Phrase, Chap. 2.12. vid. Chap. 6.15. 1 Cor. 9.20.

i. e. Hindred from Boasting, to which the Iews were so prone; or rather that Conscience might so press them, that they should silently, or as it were Speechless, expect their own Damnation, without being able to frame any Excuse, vid. Psal. 63.11. Ezek. 16.63. Mat. 22.12.

That Iews and Gentiles, and all Man-kind, as deprav'd, might be Obnoxious to the Judgment and Condemnation of God, vid. ver. 6. and Iohn 3.18.
