11 Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are His concern.
Focused Passage
Proverbs 16:11
The LORD Weighs the Heart: Sovereignty, Humility, Justice, and the Wise Path
The chapter moves from the LORD's sovereignty over plans and motives, to justice in royal rule, to the superiority of wisdom and humility, to gracious speech and the warning against self-deceived paths, to destructive speech and violent companionship, and finally to patience, self-control, and the LORD's final governance.
