Deuteronomy 25:15-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. You shall have a just and a true weight, and your measure shall be equal and true, so that you may live for a long time upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

16. For the Lord your God abominates him who does these things, and he loathes all injustice.

17. Remember what Amalek did to you, along the way, when you were departing from Egypt:

18. how he met you and cut down the stragglers of the troops, who were sitting down, exhausted, when you were consumed by hunger and hardship, and how he did not fear God.

19. Therefore, when the Lord your God will give you rest, and you will have subdued all the surrounding nations, in the land which he has promised to you, you shall delete his name from under heaven. Take care not to forget this."
