Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
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 Rom 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. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Seeing thou hatest instruction - All these rejected the counsel of God against themselves; and refused to receive the instructions of Christ. |
