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

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

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

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;

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.

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

⁴ Give ear to this, you who are crushing the poor, and whose purpose is to put an end to those who are in need in the land,

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.

⁷ The Lord has taken an oath by the pride of Jacob, Truly I will ever keep in mind all their works.

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?

²⁵ The images of their gods are to be burned with fire: have no desire for the gold and silver on them, and do not take it for yourselves, for it will be a danger to you: it is a thing disgusting to the Lord your God:

²⁶ And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it with fear and hate, for it is a cursed thing.

⁸ But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death.
