16 For every one that does this an abomination to the Lord thy God, even every one that does injustice.

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 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
15 Thou shalt have a true and just weight, and a true and just measure, that thou mayest live long upon the land which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance.
16 For every one that does this an abomination to the Lord thy God, even every one that does injustice.
17 Remember what things Amalec did to thee by the way, when thou wentest forth out of the land of Egypt:
18 how he withstood thee in the way, and harassed thy rear, those that were weary behind thee, and thou didst hunger and wast weary; and he did not fear God.
