A just beam and balances are Jehovah's, His work are all the stones of the bag.
Balances of deceit are an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight is His delight.
A stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah, Even both of them are an abomination to Jehovah.
Canaan! in his hand are balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved.
Just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath--ye have.
Do I reckon it pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?
Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use perversely balances of deceit.
An abomination to Jehovah are a stone and a stone, And balances of deceit are not good.
