8 In this land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people, and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel, according to their tribes.
9 Thus saith the Lord God, Let it [a]suffice you, O princes of Israel: leave off cruelty and oppression, and execute judgment and justice: take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord God.
10 Ye shall have just balances, and a true [b]Ephah, and a true Bath.
