Bible verse
You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Deuteronomy 25:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 25.
11 If two men are fighting, and the wife of one steps in to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his genitals,
12 you are to cut off her hand. You must show her no pity.
13 You shall not have two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.
14 You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.
15 You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
16 For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,
18 how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God.
19 When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
