Deuteronomy 25:16

16 What's more, all who do such things, all who do business dishonestly, are detestable to the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 25:16 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 25:16

For all that do such things
Keep, different weights and measures, and make use of them to defraud their neighbours in buying and selling:

[and] all that do unrighteously;
what is not just and right between man and man, in any other instance whatever:

[are] an abomination unto the Lord thy God;
both they and their actions; he is a righteous God, and loves righteousness, and hates injustice of every kind.

Deuteronomy 25:16 In-Context

14 Don't have two different types of ephahs in your house, a large one and a small one.
15 Instead, you must have only one weight, complete and correct, and only one ephah, also complete and correct, so that your life might be long in the fertile land the LORD your God is giving you.
16 What's more, all who do such things, all who do business dishonestly, are detestable to the LORD your God.
17 Remember, after all, what Amalek did to you on your departure from Egypt:
18 how he met up with you on the way, striking from behind those who were lagging back because you were weak and tired, and because he didn't fear God.
