Proverbs 16:11
_ _ are the Lord’s ... his work — that is, what He has ordered, and hence should be observed by men. |
Proverbs 16:11
_ _ Note, 1. The administration of public justice by the magistrate is an ordinance of God; in it the scales are held, and ought to be held by a steady and impartial hand; and we ought to submit to it, for the Lord's sake, and to see his authority in that of the magistrate, Romans 13:1; 1 Peter 2:13. 2. The observance of justice in commerce between man and man is likewise a divine appointment. He taught men discretion to make scales and weights for the adjusting of right exactly between buyer and seller, that neither may be wronged; and all other useful inventions for the preserving of right are from him. He has also appointed by his law that they be just. It is therefore a great affront to him, and to his government, to falsify, and so to do wrong under colour and pretence of doing right, which is wickedness in the place of judgment. |
Proverbs 16:11
The Lord's — Are made by his direction and appointment, so that no man can alter them without violating God's rights and authority. |
Proverbs 16:11
A just weight and balance [are] the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag [are] his (f) work.
(f) If they are true and just, they are God's work, and he delights in it, but otherwise if they are false, they are the work of the devil, and to their condemnation that use them. |
