Commentary on Proverbs 16:11
God requires just weights and balances—'A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.' The Hebrew 'mishpat' (just) emphasizes legal and ethical correctness. This verse establishes God as the source and guarantor of justice in commerce. Dishonest business practices violate God's character. Reformed theology sees all of life as coram Deo (before the face of God), including economic transactions. There is no secular sphere exempt from God's standards. Integrity in business reflects God's righteousness.
