Proverbs 11:1

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

A deceitful balance is an abomination before the Lord: and a just weight is his will.

See the chapter Copy

Weight and balance are judgments of the Lord: and his work all the weights of the bag.

Diverse weights are an abomination before the Lord: a deceitful balance is not good.

Diverse weights and diverse measures, both are abominable before God.

He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he hath loved oppression.

And Ephraim said: But yet I am become rich, I have found me an idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have committed.
