Business life » Dishonesty » Condemned
A deceptive balance, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, a full weight, is his delight.
A trafficker! in his hand, are balances of deceit, to oppress, he loveth.
Shall I be pure with lawless balances? or with bag of deceitful weights?
As a partridge gathereth eggs she did not lay, So is he that maketh riches but not with justice, - In the midst of his days, shall he leave them, And in his latter end, prove to have been base.
Bad! bad! saith the buyer, but, going his way, then, he boasteth.
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, - a great and a small.
Divers weights, and divers measures, an abomination to Yahweh, are they, both.
The gaining of treasures with a tongue of falsehood, is a vapour driven away, they who seek them seek death,
Alas! for him who buildeth his house without righteousness, And his roof-chambers without justice, - Of his neighbour, taketh service for nought, And recompense for his work, giveth him not.

As a partridge gathereth eggs she did not lay, So is he that maketh riches but not with justice, - In the midst of his days, shall he leave them, And in his latter end, prove to have been base.
The gaining of treasures with a tongue of falsehood, is a vapour driven away, they who seek them seek death,
Alas! for him who buildeth his house without righteousness, And his roof-chambers without justice, - Of his neighbour, taketh service for nought, And recompense for his work, giveth him not.
Better a little with righteousness, than large revenues, without justice.
He that oppresseth the poor, to make increase for himself, giving to the rich, shall surely come to want.
He that increaseth his substance by interest and profit, for one ready to favour the poor, doth gather it.
Lo! therefore I have smitten my hand, At thine unjust gain which thou hast made - And over thy bloodshed, which they have caused in thy midst.
Lo, the wage of the workers who have out down your fields - that which hath been kept back, by you, is crying out; and, the outcries of them who reaped, into the ears of the Lord of hosts, have entered:
