Deuteronomy 25:13-16
Deuteronomy 25:13-16 The Message (MSG)
Don’t carry around with you two weights, one heavy and the other light, and don’t keep two measures at hand, one large and the other small. 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. Dishonest weights and measures are an abomination to GOD, your God—all this corruption in business deals!
Deuteronomy 25:13-16 King James Version (KJV)
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 25:13-16 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
“You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a large and a small. You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. You shall have a full and just weight; you shall have a full and just measure, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you. For everyone who does these things, everyone who acts unjustly is an abomination to the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 25:13-16 New Century Version (NCV)
Don’t carry two sets of weights with you, one heavy and one light. Don’t have two different sets of measures in your house, one large and one small. You must have true and honest weights and measures so that you will live a long time in the land the LORD your God is giving you. The LORD your God hates anyone who is dishonest and uses dishonest measures.
Deuteronomy 25:13-16 American Standard Version (ASV)
Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small. Thou shalt not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small. A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. For all that do such things, even all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.
Deuteronomy 25:13-16 New International Version (NIV)
Do not have two differing weights in your bag—one heavy, one light. Do not have two differing measures in your house—one large, one small. You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. For the LORD your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.

For all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 25:13-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)
“You shall not have in your bag inaccurate weights, a heavy and a light [so you can cheat others]. You shall not have in your house inaccurate measures, a large and a small.

For everyone who does such things, everyone who acts unjustly [without personal integrity] is utterly repulsive to the LORD your God.
