The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight. Proverbs 11:1

This seems to be a theme interwoven into the Old Testament.

• Deuteronomy 25:13 Do not have two differing weights in your bag—one heavy, one light.
• Deuteronomy 25:15 You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
• Proverbs 16:11 Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are of his making.
• Proverbs 20:10 Differing weights and differing measures— the LORD detests them both.
• Proverbs 20:23 The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.
• Ezekiel 45:10 You are to use accurate scales, an accurate ephah [ An ephah was a dry measure. ] and an accurate bath. [ A bath was a liquid measure.
• Hosea 12:7 The merchant uses dishonest scales; he loves to defraud.
• Micah 6:11 Shall I acquit a man with dishonest scales, with a bag of false weights?

It’s probably a significant point the LORD wants to make regarding dishonest practices in relation to your customers and business dealings. The temptation to be dishonest “just a little” is prevalent and pervasive. We can only make the right choice with God’s help.
