Commentary for Deuteronomy 25:15
אֶ֣בֶן שְׁלֵמָ֤ה וָצֶ֙דֶק֙ יִֽהְיֶה־לָּ֔ךְ אֵיפָ֧ה שְׁלֵמָ֛ה וָצֶ֖דֶק יִֽהְיֶה־לָּ֑ךְ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יַאֲרִ֣יכוּ יָמֶ֔יךָ עַ֚ל הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ׃
A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have; that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Rashi on Deuteronomy
אבן שלמה וצדק יהיה לך THOU SHALT HAVE A PERFECT AND JUST WEIGHT — This again suggests: if you will do this, (using just weights and measures), you will have (יהיה לך) much (cf. Sifrei Devarim 294:3).

Rabbeinu Bahya
אבן שלמה וצדק יהיה לך, “a perfect and honest weight you shall have.” If you make sure to have honest weights, and your business will be based on fairness you will have alot, i.e. יהיה לך [as opposed to the previous לא יהיה לך, Ed.].
