Micah 6:11-12

Context

6:11 I do not condone the use of rigged scales,

or a bag of deceptive weights. 1 

6:12 The city’s rich men think nothing of resorting to violence; 2 

her inhabitants lie, 3 

their tongues speak deceptive words. 4 

1 tn Heb “Do I acquit sinful scales, and a bag of deceptive weights?” The rhetorical question expects an answer, “No, I do not,” and has been translated as a declarative statement for clarity and emphasis.

sn Merchants also used rigged scales and deceptive weights to cheat their customers. See the note at Amos 8:5.

2 tn Heb “because her rich are full of violence.”

3 tn Heb “speak lies.”

4 tn Heb “and their tongue is deceptive in their mouth.”
