Psalms 50:17 - Compare All Versions

Deli

You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.

For you hate discipline, and you cast my words behind you.

For you refuse my discipline and treat my words like trash.

You hate instruction and fling my words behind you.

Seeing thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee.

Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you?

Next, God calls up the wicked: “What are you up to, quoting my laws, talking like we are good friends? You never answer the door when I call; you treat my words like garbage. If you find a thief, you make him your buddy; adulterers are your friends of choice. Your mouth drools filth; lying is a serious art form with you. You stab your own brother in the back, rip off your little sister. I kept a quiet patience while you did these things; you thought I went along with your game. I’m calling you on the carpet, now, laying your wickedness out in plain sight.

“For you yourself hate discipline, And you throw My words behind you.

“For you hate instruction and discipline And cast My words behind you [discarding them].

For you hate instruction and reject my words.
