Verse 23 is found in chapter 20 of Proverbs. These proverbs warn against assuming another person’s debts without discernment, obtaining bread through deception, and accepting rumors without verification. Prudence requires asking and examining before acting. False scales appear again as a symbol of fraud, confirming that economic justice is a constant concern in Proverbs. The passage trains the reader to distrust both easy profits and unverified information.

Mancherlei Gewicht ist ein Greuel dem HERRN, und eine falsche Waage ist nicht gut.
Abominación son a Jehová las pesas dobles; Y el peso falso no es bueno.
Jehová detesta las pesas desiguales, y la balanza falsa no es buena.
L'Eternel a en horreur deux sortes de poids, Et la balance fausse n'est pas une chose bonne.
Doppio peso è cosa abbominevole al Signore; E le bilance fallaci non sono buone
Pesos diferentes são abomináveis ao SENHOR, e balança enganosa não é boa.
兩樣的法碼為耶和華所憎惡, 詭詐的天平也為不善。
