Pro 11:1 | MHM | STEP | Weighty Sayings This section teaches that true religion is not just about worshiping God but also about being honest with other people. A person cannot be truly religious if they are not honest, and God expects us to treat others fairly in all our dealings. v. 1 : God hates it when people cheat others in business. A false balance is abomination to the Lord . Using tricks or unfair weights to gain money is very offensive to God. Even if people think they can get away with cheating, God still sees it and will bring justice (Hosea 12:7-8 ). On the other hand, a just weight is his delight . God is pleased when we are honest, because He Himself is always fair and just. Being honest is necessary if we want our worship and prayers to be accepted by God.
