Further Words of Judgment

⁷ The Lord says, “The people of Israel are as dishonest as the Canaanites; they love to cheat their customers with false scales. ⁸ ‘We are rich,’ they say. ‘We've made a fortune. And no one can accuse us of getting rich dishonestly.’ ^9 (A)But I, the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt, I will make you live in tents again, as you did when I came to you in the desert.
