_ _ Their, etc. — From generals, the apostle here comes to particulars, culling from different parts of Scripture passages which speak of depravity as it affects the different members of the body; as if to show more affectingly how “from the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness” in us.

Their throat — Is noisome and dangerous as an open sepulchre.
