Commentary

Seeing thou hatest instruction,.... Or "correction" (z); to be reproved or reformed by the statutes and covenant they declared to others; they taug ht others, but not themselves, Rom 2:21 ; or evangelical instruction, the doctrines of grace, and of Christ; for, as concerning the Gospel, they were enemies, Rom 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, Act 13:45 . (z) "correctionem", Vatablus; "correptionem", Gejerus.
