Psalms 50:17 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

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.

Psalms 50:17

17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
