I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is a basket coming out.” And he said, “This is their iniquity in all the land.”
You shall have honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Hear this, you that trample on the needy, and bring to ruin the poor of the land,
saying, “When will the new moon be over so that we may sell grain; and the sabbath, so that we may offer wheat for sale? We will make the ephah small and the shekel great, and practice deceit with false balances,
buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, and selling the sweepings of the wheat.”
Can I forget the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is accursed?
On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and fraud.
Then a leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket!
