11:1 The Lord abhors 4 dishonest scales, 5
but an accurate weight 6 is his delight.
16:11 Honest scales and balances 7 are from the Lord;
all the weights 8 in the bag are his handiwork.
20:10 Diverse weights and diverse measures 9 –
the Lord abhors 10 both of them.
21:3 To do righteousness and justice
is more acceptable 11 to the Lord than sacrifice. 12
8:4 Listen to this, you who trample 13 the needy,
and do away with 14 the destitute in the land.
8:5 You say,
“When will the new moon festival 15 be over, 16 so we can sell grain?
When will the Sabbath end, 17 so we can open up the grain bins? 18
We’re eager 19 to sell less for a higher price, 20
and to cheat the buyer with rigged scales! 21
8:6 We’re eager to trade silver for the poor, 22
a pair of sandals 23 for the needy!
We want to mix in some chaff with the grain!” 24
6:10 “I will not overlook, 25 O sinful house, the dishonest gain you have hoarded away, 26
or the smaller-than-standard measure I hate so much. 27
6:11 I do not condone the use of rigged scales,
or a bag of deceptive weights. 28
