Psalms 58:3 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

The wicked are estranged from the womb— This is a strong hyperbole, a figure often used, as it is here, with great elegance by the finest writers; when, to be more expressive, they speak in such terms as apparently exceed the strict matter of fact. St. John does the same thing, when he says, If all our Saviour's miracles and actions were to be recorded, The world itself would not contain the books which should be written: i.e. The account of them would be exceedingly long and large. But in one sense, we may add, all men are estranged from God from the womb: all are fallen.
