[!note]- Are liars in the balances, etc…
They are so vain and light, that if they are put into the scales, they will be found to be of no weight; and to be mere lies, deceit, and vanity. Or, They are liars in their balances, by weighing things by false weights, and preferring the temporal before the eternal. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
