John Trapp on Proverbs 16:11

Verſ. 11. A juſt weight and ballance are the Lords] i. e. Are commanded and commended by him. See Chap. 11.1. Deut. 25.14, 15, 16. with the Notes.

All the weights of the bag are his work] i. e. His Ordinance, and therefore not to bee violated. Yea they are judicia Domini, as the Vulgar here reads the former clauſe, Gods Judgements. Let no man therefore go beyond or defraud his Brother in buying and ſelling, for God is the Avenger of all ſuch: 1 Theſ. 4.Gal. l. 11. c. 18 Colum. lib. 1. Surely his Magiſtrates muſt not tranſgreſſe in judgement, leſt they prove but fures publici, as Cato called them; latrones cum privilegio, as Columella, publick theeves; ſcabs, as the Prophet Iſaiah terms them, chap. 5.7. and leſt their regiment without righteouſneſſe appear to bee but robbery with authority: So neither muſt private perſons cheat and deceive their Brethren by falſe weights and meaſures, &c. leſt they bee looked upon as the botches of the Common-wealth, and enemies to civil ſociety.
