SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:11
¿Seré limpio con peso falso, y con bolsa de engañosas pesas?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. Shall I count [them] pure with the wicked balances , etc.] These are the words either of the prophet, or rather of God, signifying that he could not, and would not, allow, countenance, and approve of persons that used false scales or balances; or justify and reckon them just, as they would be thought to be, but condemn them, and pronounce them very wicked men, and deserving of punishment here and hereafter: and with the bag of deceitful weights ? or “stones” f207 ; which were used in weighing goods, and which were deceitful, when a heavier was used in buying, and a lighter in selling. So the Targum, “and with the bag, in which are weights greater and lesser;” condemned in ( Deuteronomy 25:13,14).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-16 - God, having showed how necessary it was that they should do justly here shows how plain it was that they had done unjustly. This voice of the Lord says to all, Hear the rod when it is coming, before you se it, and feel it. Hear the rod when it is come, and you are sensible of the smart; hear what counsels, what cautions it speaks. The voice of God is to be heard in the rod of God. Those who are dishonest in their dealings shall never be reckoned pure, whatever shows of devotion the may make. What is got by fraud and oppression, cannot be kept of enjoyed with satisfaction. What we hold closest we commonly los soonest. Sin is a root of bitterness, soon planted, but not soo plucked up again. Their being the people of God in name and profession while they kept themselves in his love, was an honour to them; but now being backsliders, their having been once the people of God turns to their reproach __________________________________________________________________
