Exegesis
In the second clause, maasehu {מַעֲשֵׂ֗הוּ | ma-ʿă-sē-hû} ‘his work’ governs kol-avnei-kis {כָּל־אַבְנֵי־כִֽיס | kāl-ʾav-nê-kiś} ‘all stones of the bag’, referring to the standardized weights used in commerce. The chiastic structure and absence of a finite verb highlight YHWH’s sovereign authority. The English renderings preserve Hebrew parallelism and construct relationships through balanced syntax and possessive constructions.
In context — Proverbs 16:11
Just scales and balanced measures are the LORD’s ; every stone-weight in the bag is His work .
