Contextual Overview

16 But to the wicked, God says, What is it to you to proclaim My statutes, and to take up My covenant on your mouth? 17 Yea, you hate instruction and toss My Words behind you. 18 When you saw a thief, you were pleased with him; and with adulterers is your portion. 19 You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit. 20 You sit; you speak against your brother; you give fault to the son of your mother. 21 You have done these things , and I have kept silence; you thought that surely I would be like you; but I will rebuke you and set in order before your eyes. 22 Now think of this, you who forget God, lest I tear, and there not be any to deliver: 23 Whoever offers thanks glorifies Me; and he who prepares a way, I will show the salvation of God to him.

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.
