This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_20:23 Divers weights [are] an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance [is] not good.
Ver. 23. Divers weights are an abomination.] In righting and revenging themselves men are apt to weigh things in an uneven balance, to be overpartial in their own cause, and to judge that a heinous offence in another, that is scarce blameworthy in themselves. It is best, therefore, to lay down all injuries at God’s feet, who will be sure to give a "just recompense to every transgression," {Heb_2:2} and will else turn his wrath from our enemies to us, for our diverse weights and false balances. {See Trapp on "Pro_20:10"}
