My dear friends, don’t try to get even. Leave room for God to show his anger. It is written,“ I am the God who judges people. I will pay them back,”( Deuteronomy 32:35) says the Lord.

All of you should honor marriage. You should keep the marriage bed pure. God will judge the person who commits adultery. He will judge everyone who commits sexual sins.

The one in authority serves God for your good. But if you do wrong, watch out! Rulers don’t carry a sword for no reason at all. They serve God. And God is carrying out his anger through them. The ruler punishes anyone who does wrong.

In spite of that, the Lord is good to Jerusalem. He never does anything that is wrong. Every morning he does what is fair. Each new day he does the right thing. But those who do what is wrong aren’t even ashamed of it.

Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord. He made all the weights in the bag.

“‘ “I will clap my hands because I am so angry. You got rich by cheating others. You spilled blood inside the walls of your city.

If they want fields or houses, they take them. They cheat people out of their homes. They rob them of their property.

“ Do not want to have anything your neighbor owns. Do not want to have your neighbor’s house, wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey.”

“ Suppose I haven’t treated any of my male and female servants fairly when they’ve brought charges against me.Then what will I do when God opposes me? What answer will I give him when he asks me to explain myself?

Here I stand. Bring charges against me if you can. The Lord is a witness. And so is his anointed king. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Have I cheated anyone? Have I treated anyone badly? Have I accepted money from anyone who wanted special favors? If I’ve done any of these things, I’ll make it right.”“ You haven’t cheated us,” they replied.“ You haven’t treated us badly. You haven’t taken anything from anyone.”

How terrible it will be for Jerusalem! Its people crush others. They refuse to obey the Lord. They are“ unclean.”

The Lord and King says,“ Princes of Israel, you have gone far enough! Stop hurting others. Do not crush them. Do what is fair and right. Stop taking my people’s land away from them,” announces the Lord and King.“ Use weights and measures that are honest and exact.Use the same standard to measure dry and liquid products. Use a 6- bushel measure for dry products. And use a 60- gallon measure for liquids.Every amount of money must be weighed out in keeping with the standard weights.“ You must offer a special gift. It must be six pounds out of every six bushels of grain.Give two and a half quarts out of every 60 gallons of olive oil.

You have even failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields. Their pay is crying out against you. The cries of those who gathered the harvest have reached the ears of the Lord. He rules over all.

Here is what I’m telling you. I am speaking for the Lord as I warn you. You must no longer live as the Gentiles do. Their thoughts don’t have any purpose.

When you take another believer to court, you have lost the battle already. Why not be treated wrongly? Why not be cheated?Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong. And you do it to your brothers and sisters.Don’t you know that people who do wrong will not receive God’s kingdom? Don’t be fooled. Those who commit sexual sins will not receive the kingdom. Neither will those who worship statues of gods or commit adultery. Neither will men who sleep with other men.

You know what the commandments say.‘ Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not be a false witness. Do not cheat. Honor your father and mother.’ ”( Exodus 20:12–16; Deuteronomy 5:16–20)

“ So I will come and put you on trial. I will be quick to bring charges against all of you,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ I will bring charges against you sinful people who do not have any respect for me. That includes those who practice evil magic. It includes those who commit adultery and those who tell lies in court. It includes those who cheat workers out of their pay. It includes those who treat widows badly. It also includes those who mistreat children whose fathers have died. And it includes those who take away the rights of outsiders in the courts.

God shows his anger from heaven. It is against all the godless and evil things people do. They are so evil that they say no to the truth.

“‘ Do not cheat your neighbor. Do not rob him.“‘ Do not hold back the pay of a hired worker until morning.

The vineyard of the Lord who rules over all is the nation of Israel. The people of Judah are the vines he took delight in. He kept looking for them to do what is fair. But all he saw was blood being spilled. He kept looking for them to do what is right. But all he heard were cries of suffering.

Suppose someone is caught kidnapping another Israelite. And they sell or treat that person as a slave. Then the kidnapper must die. Get rid of that evil person.

Don’t let anyone fool you with worthless words. People who say things like that aren’t obeying God. He is angry with them.

The Lord hates weights that weigh things heavier or lighter than they really are. Scales that are not honest don’t please him.

I will show you whom you should be afraid of. Be afraid of the one who has the authority to throw you into hell after you have been killed. Yes, I tell you, be afraid of him.

Do not take advantage of each other. Instead, have respect for your God. I am the Lord your God.

He will punish those who don’t know God. He will punish those who don’t obey the good news about our Lord Jesus.

I punish people. I will pay them back. The time will come when their feet will slip. Their day of trouble is near. Very soon they will be destroyed.”

Don’t take advantage of poor people just because they are poor. Don’t treat badly those who are in need by taking them to court.The Lord will stand up for them in court. He will require the lives of people who have taken the lives of those in need.

Suppose you see poor people being mistreated somewhere. And what is being done to them isn’t right or fair. Don’t be surprised by that. One official is watched by a higher one. Officials who are even higher are watching both of them.

Anyone who steals from their parents and says,“ It’s not wrong,” is just like someone who destroys.

But you have disrespected poor people. Aren’t rich people taking advantage of you? Aren’t they dragging you into court?

The Lord hates it when people use scales to cheat others. But he is delighted when people use honest weights.

The Lord is a God who punishes. Since you are the one who punishes, come and show your anger.

It wants what others have. It gets drunk and takes part in wild parties. It does many things of that kind. I warn you now as I did before. People who live like this will not receive God’s kingdom.

Be on guard against your friends. Do not trust the members of your own family. Every one of them cheats. Every friend tells lies.

“‘ Suppose you sell land to any of your own people. Or you buy land from them. Then do not take advantage of each other.

Do not treat outsiders or widows badly in this place. Do not take advantage of children whose fathers have died. Do not kill those who are not guilty of doing anything wrong. Do not worship other gods. That will only bring harm to you.

You say,“ When will the New Moon feast be over? Then we can sell our grain. When will the Sabbath day come to an end? Then people can buy our wheat.” But you measure out less than the right amount. You raise your prices. You cheat others by using dishonest scales.You buy poor people to make slaves out of them. You buy those who are in need for a mere pair of sandals. You even sell the worthless parts of your wheat.

“‘ Do not steal.“‘ Do not tell lies.“‘ Do not cheat one another.

I know that the Lord makes sure that poor people are treated fairly. He stands up for those who are in need.

“ It’s no good. It’s no good!” says a buyer. Then off they go and brag about what they bought.

People aren’t fair when they present cases in court. They aren’t honest when they state their case. They depend on weak arguments. They tell lies. They plan to make trouble. Then they carry it out.The plans they make are like the eggs of poisonous snakes. Anyone who eats those eggs will die. When one of them is broken, a snake comes out.Those people weave their evil plans together like a spider’s web. But the webs they make can’t be used as clothes. They can’t cover themselves with what they make. Their acts are evil. They do things to harm others.They are always in a hurry to sin. They run quickly to murder those who aren’t guilty. They love to think up evil plans. They leave a trail of harmful actions.

Anyone who has been stealing must never steal again. Instead, they must work. They must do something useful with their own hands. Then they will have something to give to people in need.

Don’t have two different scales. Don’t have scales that cause things to seem heavier or lighter than they really are.And don’t have two different sets of measures. Don’t have measures that cause things to seem larger or smaller than they really are.You must use weights and measures that are honest and exact. Then you will live a long time in the land the Lord your God is giving you.He hates anyone who cheats.

Your rulers refuse to obey the Lord. They join forces with robbers. All of them love to accept money from those who want special favors. They are always looking for gifts from other people. They don’t stand up in court for children whose fathers have died. They don’t do it for widows either.The Lord is the Mighty One of Israel. The Lord who rules over all announces,“ Israel, you have become my enemies. I will act against you in my anger. I will pay you back for what you have done.

“ Do not steal.
