The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing.
KJV
Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.

Commentary
Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord,.... See Gill on
Pro 20:10
; which is here repeated for the further confirmation of it, and that it might be taken notice of and avoided; and perhaps this sin of using false weights and measures was common with the Jews;
and a false balance is not good; in the sight of God; but an abomination, as in
Pro 11:1
; nor is it good for men in the issue; for though they may gain by it at present, it will prove a loss to them in the end, since it will bring a curse on all they get.
