7:9; 23:103.
When used in relation to an individual, Mawazin means his works; but when used in relation to a nation it signifies, its material means and resources. According to the present-day terminology of war, 'tonnage' seems to be an appropriate rendering of the word. In the latter sense the verse would mean that a nation, whose material resources are great or whose tonnage of steamships or aeroplanes is heavy, will predominate over its adversaries, and this fact will add to its prestige and power and consequently to its happiness.

重量 (مَوَازِيْن, Mawazin)用来指个人时即意指他的工作; 但是用来指一个国家时是指国家的物质财富和资源。但根据当代的战争术语, 这个词的恰当解释似乎是吨位。这节经文按照后一种意思, 是指一个物质资源大或船舶或飞机的吨位重的国家将统治它的对手, 这个事实将增加它的威望和权力, 从而增加国家的幸福。
