³⁵ Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.

¹³ Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;

¹⁵ But have a true weight and a true measure: so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

² For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.

¹ Give ear now to the words of the Lord: Up! put forward your cause before the mountains, let your voice be sounding among the hills.

⁵ Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;

⁶ Getting the poor for silver, and him who is in need for the price of two shoes, and taking a price for the waste parts of the grain.

¹² In you they have taken rewards as the price of blood; you have taken interest and great profits, and you have taken away your neighbours' goods by force, and have not kept me in mind, says the Lord.

¹³ See, then, I have made my hands come together in wrath against your taking of goods by force and against the blood which has been flowing in you.

¹⁰ Unequal weights and unequal measures, they are all disgusting to the Lord.

¹¹ True measures and scales are the Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

¹ Scales of deceit are hated by the Lord, but a true weight is his delight.

¹⁵ Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.
