Isaiah 26:7

The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

The way of the just (is) uprightness - rather, is direct; i:e., is directed by God to a prosperous issue, however many be their afflictions in the meantime (as in the case of the Jewish exiles). The context requires this sense (; ; ) - literally, 'rightnesses.' The prophet is not praising the just, but is showing that God gives a prosperous issue to their course, however rugged it may seem for a time (Calvin, Maurer). Thus "The way" means God's dealings with the righteous ().

Thou, most upright - (.)

Dost weigh the path of the just (; ) - thou dost exactly level (Maurer), removing all obstacles (Isaiah 40:3). Junius explains, 'thou makest all things most exactly to succeed in the path of the just, controlling each of the two scales, adversity and prosperity, more nicely than any goldsmith.
