John Gill Commentary Psalms 50:17

"Seeing thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee?" — Psalms 50:17 (ASV)

Seeing you hate 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 cast my words behind you ;
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 13:45Acts 13:46) (Luke 7:30) .
