Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Pro 16:11

¹ tn 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.

² tn Heb “stones.”
