Deuteronomy 25:14-19

14 Never have two kinds of measures in your house, a larger one and a smaller one.
15 Use accurate and honest weights and measures. Then you will live for a long time in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
16 Everyone who uses dishonest weights and measures is disgusting to the LORD.
17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you on your trip from Egypt.
18 They attacked you when you were tired and exhausted and killed all those who were lagging behind. They weren't afraid of God.
19 So when the LORD your God gives you peace from all your enemies around you in the land that he is giving you as your own property, don't forget to erase every memory of the Amalekites from the earth.
