Deuteronomy 25:13. JUST WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

So Leviticus 19:35. Among the laws of moral holiness comes the law of just weights and measures.

(16) An abomination unto the Lord. — So in Proverbs 11:1, “a false balance is abomination to the Lord.” (See also Amos 8:4.) The protection of the poor is the chief practical end in this; rich men can take care of themselves. Poor men are doubly robbed by short weight and measure, because they cannot protect themselves against it. The injustice tends to perpetuate their poverty.
