Psalm 50:17

17 so du doch Zucht hassest und wirfst meine Worte hinter dich?

Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 50:17 In-Context

15 und rufe mich an in der Not, so will ich dich erretten, so sollst du mich preisen."
16 Aber zum Gottlosen spricht Gott: "Was verkündigst du meine Rechte und nimmst meinen Bund in deinen Mund,
17 so du doch Zucht hassest und wirfst meine Worte hinter dich?
18 Wenn du einen Dieb siehst, so läufst du mit ihm und hast Gemeinschaft mit den Ehebrechern.
19 Deinen Mund lässest du Böses reden, und deine Zunge treibt Falschheit.
