Deuteronomy 25:10-19

10 And his name shall be called in Israel, the house of the unshod.
11 If two men have words together, and one begin to fight against the other, and the other’s wife willing to deliver her husband out of the hand of the stronger, shall put forth her hand, and take him by the secrets,
12 Thou shalt cut off her hand, neither shalt thou be moved with any pity in her regard.
13 Thou shalt not have divers weights in thy bag, a greater and a less:
14 Neither shall there be in thy house a greater bushel and a less.
15 Thou shalt have a just and a true weight, and thy bushel shall be equal and true: that thou mayest live a long time upon the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee.
16 For the Lord thy God abhorreth him that doth these things, and he hateth all injustice.
17 Remember what Amalec did to thee in the way when thou camest out of Egypt:
18 How he met thee: and slew the hindmost of the army, who sat down, being weary, when thou wast spent with hunger and labour, and he feared not God.
19 Therefore when the Lord thy God shall give thee rest, and shall have subdued all the nations round about in the land which he hath promised thee: thou shalt blot out his name from under heaven. See thou forget it not.
