Differing weights are an abomination to the Lord,
And a false scale is not good.

Differing weights and differing measures,
Both of them are abominable to the Lord.

A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,
But a just weight is His delight.

“You shall have just balances, a just ephah and a just bath.

A merchant, in whose hands are false balances,
He loves to oppress.

saying,
“When will the new moon be over,
So that we may sell grain,
And the sabbath, that we may open the wheat market,
To make the bushel smaller and the shekel bigger,
And to cheat with dishonest scales,
