Deuteronomy 25:16

Read in context

Deuteronomy 25:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.

15 You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

16 For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.

17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,

18 how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God.
