16:11Honest scales and balances40 are from the Lord;
all the weights41 in the bag are his handiwork.
Footnotes
- 40 Heb “a scale and balances of justice.” This is an attributive genitive, meaning “just scales and balances.” The law required that scales and measures be accurate and fair (Lev 19:36; Deut 25:13). Shrewd dishonest people kept light and heavy weights to make unfair transactions.
- 41 Heb “stones.”
