Bible in Basic English

But have a true weight and a true measure: so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.

Keep in mind what Amalek did to you on your way from Egypt;

How, meeting you on the way, he made an attack on you when you were tired and without strength, cutting off all the feeble ones at the end of your line; and the fear of God was not in him.

So when the Lord your God has given you rest from all who are against you on every side, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, see to it that the memory of Amalek is cut off from the earth; keep this in mind.

DRB
“Thou shalt have a just and a true weight, and thy bushel shall be equal and true: that thou mayest live a long time upon the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee. For the Lord thy God abhorreth him that doth these things, and he hateth all injustice. Remember what Amalec did to thee in the way when thou camest out of Egypt: How he met thee: and slew the hindmost of the army, who sat down, being weary, when thou wast spent with hunger and labour, and he feared not God. Therefore when the Lord thy God shall give thee rest, and shall have subdued all the nations round about in the land which he hath promised thee: thou shalt blot out his name from under heaven. See thou forget it not. ”

Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;

But have a true weight and a true measure: so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.
