HONEST DEALINGS

Pr 11:1 The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight.

Pr 20:14  "It’s no good, it’s no good!" says the buyer; then off he goes and boasts about his purchase.

Scales are used in buying and selling things. The Law of Moses states, "Do not have two differing weights in your bag— one heavy, one light. Do not have two differing measures in your house— one large, one small. You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. For the LORD your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly." Deut 25:13-16

But besides the issue of weights and measures, there are related ways in which people deal dishonestly like making false claims about an item or not disclosing problems with the item. These are all forms of theft. The Bible tell us, "You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another." Lev 19:11
