Keil & Delitzsch, on Prov 20:23

Keil & Delitzsch · 1861–1875
Prov 20:23 · Douay-Rheims
“Diverse weights are an abomination before the Lord: a deceitful balance is not good.”
On this verse:
“23 An abomination to Jahve are two kinds of weights; And deceitful balances are not good. A variant to Pro 20:10, Pro 11:1. The pred. לא־טוב (Pro 17:26; Pro 18:5; Pro 19:3) is conceived of as neut.; they are not good, much rather bad and pernicious, for the deceiver succeeds only in appearance; in reality he fails.”
