9 The Lord God proclaims: Enough, princes of Israel! Turn aside from violence and oppression. Establish justice and righteousness. Cease your evictions of my people! This is what the Lord God says: 10 You must use fair scales, a fair ephah,[a] and a fair bath.[b] 11 The ephah and the bath must be the same size. Both should be calibrated to the homer: each will contain one-tenth of a homer.
