Psaume 50:17

17 Toi qui hais la correction et qui jettes mes paroles derrière toi?

Psaume 50:17 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 50:17

Seeing thou hatest instruction
Or "correction" F26; to be reproved or reformed by the statutes and covenant they declared to others; they taught others, but not themselves, ( Romans 2:21-23 ) ; 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 Acts 13:46 ) ( Luke 7:30 ) .


FOOTNOTES:

F26 (dowm) "correctionem", Vatablus; "correptionem", Gejerus.

Psaume 50:17 In-Context

15 Et invoque-moi au jour de la détresse: je te délivrerai et tu me glorifieras.
16 Mais Dieu dit au méchant: Est-ce à toi de réciter mes lois, et d'avoir mon alliance dans la bouche?
17 Toi qui hais la correction et qui jettes mes paroles derrière toi?
18 Quand tu vois un larron, tu te plais avec lui, et ta portion est avec les adultères.
19 Tu laisses aller ta bouche au mal, et ta langue trame la fraude.
