Setting an Honest Scale

My dear son,

Even a small difference on a scale can cost someone part of what is theirs. Value accurate scales and fair weights. I attend to the hands that calculate and trade, just as I attend to the heart that worships.

Keep your standards steady even when changing them might benefit you. Apply to your own work the same honest measure you use for others. Fairness remains precious in a place where nobody notices the details.

If you handle numbers or quantities today, check them calmly. Correct a mistake when you find one. Your accurate calculations and truthful explanations can protect a neighbor's rightful share. I delight in that faithful care.

With all my love,
Your Father

Proverbs 16:11

WEB

11Honest balances and scales are the LORD’s; all the weights in the bag are his work.

A short reflection

Proverbs declares that honest scales and balances belong to the Lord and that the weights are his work, emphasizing fairness in commerce and judgment.
