Just Balance From The LORD

I enjoyed your analysis: the right amount of force.
I would call this a refined degree of balance within
the application of F=ma.

Leviticus 19:36    KJV
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah,
and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the
LORD your God, which brought you out
of the land of Egypt.

The spiritual parrallel is looking at the brutality of
Pharaoh as opposed to the just balance of the LORD.
Might does not make right. Pharaoh allowed his fear
of losing power to run rampant and enslave others
through unjust task-masters.

Proverb 16:11    KJV
A just weight and balance [are] the LORD'S:
all the weights of the bag [are] his work.

Force alone with the intent to micro-manage and
control is considered brute force. The Pharaoh's
expression of oppression failed to give just recognition
to others. Instead, he used his place of power to
harden his heart. He viewed his way as greater
and others as lessor. This produced his pride.

Deu 25:13    KJV
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights,
a great and a small.

It is the goal of just refinements in our hearts from
the LORD so we can properly balance and weigh
each matter with a view towards the Almighty.
It is based on our freedom to seek out His justice
in our own hearts that can lead us towards finding
true balance in spirit and truth.

Proverbs 20:10 & 23    KJV
Divers weights, [and] divers measures, both
of them [are] alike abomination to the LORD.
[23] Divers weights [are] an abomination unto
the LORD; and a false balance [is] not good.

The application of drawing near to God for His just
and true measure of eternal life will keep us from
the slavery of sin.

Micah 6:11    KJV
Shall I count [them] pure with the wicked
balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
