Strong's Number H3976 matches the Hebrew מֹאזְנַיִם (mō'znayim),
which occurs 15 times in 15 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
Common people are only a vapor;
important people, an illusion.
Together on a scale,
they weigh less than[fn] a vapor.
Honest balances and scales are the LORD’s;
all the weights in the bag are his concern.
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand?
Who has gathered the dust of the earth in a measure
or weighed the mountains on a balance
and the hills on the scales?
Look, the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are considered as a speck of dust on the scales;
he lifts up the islands like fine dust.
“I recorded it on a scroll, sealed it, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.
“Now you, son of man, take a sharp sword, use it as you would a barber’s razor, and shave your head and beard. Then take a set of scales and divide the hair.
asking, “When will the New Moon be over
so we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath,
so we may market wheat?
We can reduce the measure
while increasing the price[fn]
and cheat with dishonest scales.
