 # since you hate instruction and throw my words away
 
-This is the end of the rhetorical question begun with the words "What have you to do" ([Psalms 50:16](../050/016.md). God uses this question to rebuke wicked people. This question can be turned into a statement: "It is not right for you to declare my statutes and my covenant, since you hate instruction and throw my words away." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
