Contextual Overview

16 But God says to the wicked, "Stop quoting my laws! Stop talking about my agreement! 17 You hate for me to tell you what to do. You ignore what I say. 18 You see a thief and run to join him. You jump into bed with those who commit adultery. 19 You say evil things and tell lies. 20 You sit around talking about people, finding fault with your own brothers. 21 When you did these things, I said nothing. So you thought that I was just like you. But I will not be quiet any longer. I will correct you and make clear what I have against you. 22 You people who have forgotten God, understand what I am telling you, or I will tear you apart, and no one will be able to save you! 23 Whoever gives a thank offering shows me honor. And whoever decides to live right will see 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.
