How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses accurate for the Hebrew word שְׁלֵמָ֣ה.
Where others part company with the BSB they differ over the rendering of שְׁלֵמָ֣ה: just (ASV, KJV) versus perfect (YLT).
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the subject מֹאזְנֵי, scales, which is contrasted with another clause that begins with וְאֶ֖בֶן, and a weight. This structure highlights the opposition between dishonest scales and an accurate weight.
The sentence is constructed to emphasize the moral judgment of God regarding these practices, with the subject and predicate clearly delineating the two contrasting ideas.

The Septuagint translates מֹאזְנֵי as ζυγοὶ (zygoi), which refers to scales or balances, maintaining the original meaning while adopting a Greek term. This choice reflects a consistent understanding of the concept of weighing.
The use of δόλιοι for מִרְמָה indicates a similar focus on deceit, aligning with the Hebrew meaning while broadening its application in a Greek context.

wat (Measure of quantity) mishqal, (mishqol (Eze 4:10), from shaqkal, "to weigh" 'ebhen, "a stone" used for weighing in the balance): Weights were commonly of stone or bronze (or of lead, Zec 5:7,8). They were of various forms, such as the lion-shaped weights of Babylonia and Assyria, or in the form of birds and other animals. The Hebrew and Phoenician weights, when made of stone, were barrel-shaped or spindle-shaped, but in bronze they were often cubical or octagonal or with numerous faces (see illustration under WEIGHTS AND MEASURES).
