¹⁰ Just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath -- ye have.

⁴ Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land,

⁵ Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use perversely balances of deceit.

⁶ To purchase with money the poor, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Yea, the refuse of the pure corn we sell.

¹⁰ Are there yet `in' the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah?

¹¹ Do I reckon `it' pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?

³⁵ `Ye do not do perversity in judgment, in mete-yard, in weight, or in liquid measure;

³⁶ righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin ye have; I `am' Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

¹ Balances of deceit `are' an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight `is' His delight.

¹¹ A just beam and balances `are' Jehovah's, His work `are' all the stones of the bag.

¹⁵ Thou hast a stone complete and just, thou hast an ephah complete and just, so that they prolong thy days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;

¹⁰ A stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah, Even both of them `are' an abomination to Jehovah.

³ To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah rather than sacrifice.

¹⁰ For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah.
