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

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

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

²³ Unequal weights are disgusting to the Lord, and false scales are not good.

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

¹⁴ Or in your house different measures, 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.

¹⁶ For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.

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

³⁶ Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;

¹⁰ Have true scales and a true ephah and a true bath.

¹¹ The ephah and the bath are to be of the same measure, so that the bath is equal to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah to a tenth of a homer: the unit of measure is to be a homer.

¹² And the shekel is to be twenty gerahs: five shekels are five, and ten shekels are ten, and your maneh is to be fifty shekels

⁷ So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.

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.

¹⁰ Am I to let the stores of the evil-doer go out of my memory, and the short measure, which is cursed?

¹¹ Is it possible for me to let wrong scales and the bag of false weights go without punishment?
