John Gill, on Prov 16:11
John Gill · 1697–1771
Prov 16:11 · Douay-Rheims
“Weight and balance are judgments of the Lord: and his work all the weights of the bag.”
On this verse:
“A just weight and balance are the Lord's,.... These are of his devising; what he has put into the heart, of men to contrive and make use of, for the benefit of mankind, for the keeping and maintaining truth and justice in commercial affairs; these are of his appointing, commanding, and approving, Lev 19:35; all the weights of the bag are his work; or, "all the stones" (h); greater or smaller, which were formerly used in weighing, and were kept in a bag for that purpose; these are by the Lord's appointment and order. This may be applied to the Scriptures of truth, which are of God; are the balance of the sanctuary, in which every doctrine is to be weighed and tried; what agrees with them is to be received, and what is found wanting is to be rejected. The Targum is, "his works, all of them, are weights of truth.'' (h) "lapides", Montanus, Vatablus, Piscator, Mercerus, Michaelis.”
