13 ¶ Thou shalt not have in thy bag two manner of [a]weights, a great and a small:

14 Neither shalt thou have in thine house divers [b]measures, a great and a small:

15 But thou shalt have a right and just weight: a perfect and a just measure shalt thou have, that thy days may be lengthened in the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

16 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
