The Voice of the Lord Speaks Against Sin

The voice of the Lord cries out to the city.
    To fear your name is sound judgment.
    Pay attention to the rod and to the one who appointed it.

    and dishonest measurements that are cursed?
11 Can I condone your dishonest scales and your bags full of false weights?

    and to fear your name is wisdom—

10 Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
    and the short ephah,[b] which is accursed?(B)
11 Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,(C)
    with a bag of false weights?(D)
