C.H. Spurgeon, in Morning & Evening (evening September 4th), commented on
Leviticus 19:36
You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
saying,
"The balances in which we weigh our own and other men's characters, are they quite accurate? Do we not turn our own ounces of goodness into pounds, and other persons' bushels of excellence into pecks? See to weights and measures here, Christian. The scales in which we measure our trials and troubles, are they according to the standard? Paul, who had more to suffer than we have, called his afflictions light, and yet we often consider ours to be heavy -- surely something must be amiss with the weights! We must see to this matter, lest we get reported to the court above for unjust dealing."
