Proverbs 11:1

Balances of deceit are an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight is His delight.

A just beam and balances are Jehovah's, His work are all the stones of the bag.

A stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah, Even both of them are an abomination to Jehovah.

An abomination to Jehovah are a stone and a stone, And balances of deceit are not good.

Canaan! in his hand are balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved.

And Ephraim saith: `Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours--they find not against me iniquity that is sin.'
