Charles Ellicott Commentary Micah 6:11

"Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights?" — Micah 6:11 (ASV)

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, You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, you shall have. And, you shall not have in your house divers weights, ... and divers measures, a great and small (Deuteronomy 25:13–14).
