Proverbs 16, Balancing Judgment (Additional studies: Proverbs Index)
Thus the seemingly out of place verse about honest weights and scales belonging to YHVH. In the ancient world, they did not at first use coin money when conducting transactions. But every merchant had a balance scale and a set of weights. Let’s say an item for purchase will cost an ounce of silver. The merchant set out his scale, put a weight equaling one ounce on one side, and the customer would pile bits of silver from his purse on the other side, until the scale balanced. So a king is to weigh his judgments carefully and honestly, maintaining the balance between mercy and truth (vs. 6, “By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for”). He can only do this through wisdom and understanding.
