weights: Proverbs 20:10, Ezekiel 45:10
a false balance: Heb. balances of deceit, Hosea 12:7, Amos 8:5
Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 25:16 - all that do Proverbs 6:16 - an Proverbs 11:1 - A false balance is Proverbs 16:11 - just Micah 6:10 - and 1 Thessalonians 4:6 - go
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Divers weights [are] an abomination unto the Lord,....
:-; which is here repeated for the further confirmation of it, and that it might be taken notice of and avoided; and perhaps this sin of using false weights and measures was common with the Jews;
and a false balance [is] not good; in the sight of God; but an abomination, as in Proverbs 11:1; nor is it good for men in the issue; for though they may gain by it at present, it will prove a loss to them in the end, since it will bring a curse on all they get.
