  • Amos 8:5-6
    Saying:
    "When will the New Moon be past,
    That we may sell grain?
    And the Sabbath,
    That we may trade wheat?
    Making the ephah small and the shekel large,
    falsifying the scales by deceit,
    That we may buy the poor for silver,
    And the needy for a pair of sandals—
    Even sell the bad wheat?"

     
  • Micah 6:10-16
    Are there yet the treasures of wickedness
    In the house of the wicked,
    And the short measure that is an abomination?
    Shall I count pure those with the wicked scales,
    And with the bag of deceitful weights?
    For her rich men are full of violence,
    Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
    And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
    “ Therefore I will also make you sick by striking you,
    By making you desolate because of your sins.
    You shall eat, but not be satisfied;
    Hungershall be in your midst.
    You may carry some away, but shall not save them;
    And what you do rescue I will give over to the sword.
    “ You shall sow, but not reap;
    You shall tread the olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
    And make sweet wine, but not drink wine.
    For the statutes of Omri are kept;
    All the works of Ahab’s house are done;
    And you walk in their counsels,
    That I may make you a desolation,
    And your inhabitants a hissing.
    Therefore you shall bear the reproach of My people.”
     
  • Leviticus 19:35-36
    "You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
     
  • Proverbs 16:11
    Honest weights and scales are the LORD’s;
    All the weights in the bag are His work.

     
  • Deuteronomy 25:13-16
    “You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, that your days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. For all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
     
  • Proverbs 20:10
    Diverse weights and diverse measures,
    They are both alike, an abomination to the LORD.

     
  • Hosea 12:7
    “ A cunning Canaanite!
    Deceitful scales are in his hand;
    He loves to oppress.

     
  • Proverbs 11:1
    Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
    But a just weight is His delight.

     
  • Philippians 2:4

  • Revelation 6:5-6
    When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine."
