1A deceitful scale is an abomination with the Lord, and a fair weighing is his will.
11Weights and scales are judgments of the Lord. And all the stones in the bag are his work.
1You masters, supply your servants with what is just and equitable, knowing that you, too, have a Master in heaven.
10Diverse weights, diverse measures: both are abominable with God.
23Diverse weights are an abomination with the Lord. A deceitful balance is not good.
35Do not be willing to accomplish iniquity in judgment, in lengths, in weights, in quantities. 36Let the scales be just and the weights equal, let the dry measure be just and the liquid measure be equal. I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt.
8I will reveal to you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requires from you, and how to act with judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk carefully with your God.
36Let the scales be just and the weights equal, let the dry measure be just and the liquid measure be equal. I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt.
24And judgment will be revealed like water, and justice like a mighty torrent.
9And you, lords, act similarly toward them, setting aside threats, knowing that the Lord of both you and them is in heaven. For with him there is no favoritism toward anyone.
13You shall not have differing weights, greater and lesser, in your bag. 14Neither shall there be in your house a greater and a lesser measure. 15You shall have a just and a true weight, and your measure shall be equal and true, so that you may live for a long time upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you. 16For the Lord your God abominates him who does these things, and he loathes all injustice.
19and not so as to show favoritism to either side. You shall not accept a person’s reputation, nor gifts. For gifts blind the eyes of the wise and alter the words of the just. 20You shall justly pursue what is just, so that you may live and possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
15It is gladness for the just to do judgment; and it is dread for those who work iniquity.
11Shall I justify unfaithful balances, and the deceitful weighing of a small bag?
