Deuteronomy 25:13-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 (A)You shall not keep two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and the other light; 14 nor shall you keep two different ephahs[a] in your house, one large and the other small. 15 But use a full and just weight, a full and just ephah, so that you may have a long life on the land the Lord, your God, is giving you. 16 For everyone who does these things, everyone who does what is dishonest, is an abomination to the Lord, your God.(B)
