Honesty

The LORD abhors dishonest scales, 
but accurate weights are his delight. 

Proverbs 11:1 NIV 


Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable? Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 

Micah 6:10-12 KJV 


He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, 
He who rejects unjust gain 
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; 

He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed 
And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil; 

He will dwell on the heights, 
His refuge will be the impregnable rock; 
His bread will be given him, 
His water will be sure. 

Isaiah 33:15,16 NASB 


So now, come back to your God! Act on the principles of love and justice, and always live in confident dependence on your God. 

But no, the people are like crafty merchants selling from dishonest scales - they love to cheat. 

Hosea 12:6,7 NLT
