Rashi, on Prov 16:11

“Weight and balance are judgments of the Lord: and his work all the weights of the bag.”

“The balance and scales of justice are the Lord’s etc. to requite a person according to his deed. משפט is (justice in French, in German Gerechtigkeit, and so in Isaiah 7,) the retribution for a person’s sins with a balance and scales. all the weights in the bag Just as among the weights in the bag, there are large weights and small ones, so is everything according to a person’s deeds.”
