Radak #1: You thought that I will be like you, and not know hidden thoughts.

What is the rebuke?

1.

Radak: I will arrange in front of you everything that you did, so you will know that I knew everything! Now is the time to eradicate the Resha'im, and all will know who are the good and who are the bad - "v'Shavtem u'R'isim Bein Tzadik l'Rasha Bein Oved Elokim la'Asher Lo Avado" (Mal'achi 3:18).

2.

Radak #2: Refer to 50:21:3:4.

3.

Malbim: If I wanted to arouse quarrels, like you, would not need to say Sheker, like you did. I would rebuke you for the evil that you truly did, and show it so you could not deny it! Rather, I hide your evil deeds, and you reveal evil deeds that your brother did not do!
