Proverbs 11:1

Bible in Basic English 1965

Scales of deceit are hated by the Lord, but a true weight is his delight.

See the chapter Copy

True measures and scales are the Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

Unequal weights and unequal measures, they are all disgusting to the Lord.

Unequal weights are disgusting to the Lord, and false scales are not good.

As for Canaan, the scales of deceit are in his hands; he takes pleasure in twisted ways.

And Ephraim said, Now I have got wealth and much property; in all my works no sin may be seen in me.
