Micah 6:11 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Shall I count them pure? — Rather, Can I be innocent with the deceitful balances? The enactments about weights were very stringently expressed in the Law, both affirmatively and negatively: e.g., in Leviticus 19:35-36, “Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have.” And, “thou shalt not have in thy house divers weights,”... and “divers measures, a great and small” (Deuteronomy 25:13-14).
