Deuteronomy 25:13-15

13 Don't carry around with you two weights, one heavy and the other light,
14 and don't keep two measures at hand, one large and the other small.
15 Use only one weight, a true and honest weight, and one measure, a true and honest measure, so that you will live a long time on the land that God, your God, is giving you.
