Hom. Review Leviticus 19:35-36 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in length, in weight, or in measure.… A popular pastor preached once on the immoralities of trade. At the close of the service two of the prominent members of his church, both successful business men, came to him. Said the first: "Dominie, there is no use in preaching such a sermon. That sort of thing is never practised by honourable houses or by such men as compose this congregation." The other called the preacher aside and said, "Dominie, there is no use in preaching such sermons. The practices you speak of are so universal that they have ceased to merit your characterisation of them. Every business house in this city does just that thing, my own amongst the rest. It is not worth while to preach against it." (Hom. Review.) Parallel Verses KJV: Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.WEB: "'You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity. |
