Contextual Overview

¹⁶ But to the wicked I say: "You don't have the right to mention my laws or claim to keep our agreement! ¹⁷ You refused correction and rejected my commands. ¹⁸ You made friends with every crook you met, and you liked people who break their wedding vows. ¹⁹ You talked only about violence and told nothing but lies; ²⁰ you sat around gossiping, ruining the reputation of your own relatives." ²¹ When you did all of this, I didn't say a word, and you thought, "God is just like us!" But now I will accuse you. ²² You have ignored me! So pay close attention or I will tear you apart, and no one can help you. ²³ The sacrifice that honors me is a thankful heart. Obey me, and I, your God, will show my power to save.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Seeing thou hatest instruction,.... Or "correction" z; to be reproved or reformed by the statutes and covenant they declared to others; they taught others, but not themselves, Romans 2:21; or evangelical instruction, the doctrines of grace, and of Christ; for, as concerning the Gospel, they were enemies, Romans 11:28; and since they were haters of that, they ought not to have been teachers of others;

and castest my words behind thee; the doctrines of the Gospel, which they despised and rejected with the utmost abhorrence, as loathsome, and not fit to be looked upon and into; and also the ordinances of it, the counsel of God, which they rejected against themselves,

Acts 13:45.

z מוסד "correctionem", Vatablus; "correptionem", Gejerus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Seeing thou hatest instruction - That is, He is unwilling himself to be taught. He will not learn the true nature of religion, and yet he presumes to instruct others. Compare the notes at Romans 2:21.

And castest my words behind thee - He treated them with contempt, or as unworthy of attention. He did not regard them as worthy of being “retained,” but threw them contemptuously away.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 50:17. Seeing thou hatest instruction — All these rejected the counsel of God against themselves; and refused to receive the instructions of Christ.
