Daily Bible Nugget #700, Proverbs 11:1

The Nugget:

Pro 11:1  A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. (KJV)

Pro 11:1 Balances of deceit are an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight is His delight. (YLT, Young’s Literal Translation)

Pro 11:1 False balances are hateful to Jehovah, but a perfect stone is His delight. (LITV, Literal translation of the Holy Bible)

Pro 11:1  A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight. (WEB, World English Bible)

Pro 11:1  Dishonest scales are disgusting to the LORD, but accurate weights are pleasing to him. (GW, God’s Word translation)

Pro 11:1 The LORD hates anyone who cheats, but he likes everyone who is honest. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)

My Comment:

God hates cheaters. God delights in everyone who is honest. Proverbs 11:1 is another passage about what God delights in, and is one of the cross references given at Proverbs 12:22, the subject of my last post, Daily Bible Nugget 699.
