Ezekiel 45:9-11
New English Translation

9 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Enough, you princes of Israel! Put away violence and destruction and do what is just and right. Put an end to your evictions of my people,[a] declares the Sovereign Lord. 10 You must use just balances,[b] a just dry measure (an ephah),[c] and a just liquid measure (a bath).[d] 11 The dry and liquid measures will be the same: The bath will contain a tenth of a homer,[e] and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure.
