Saying, ‘When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;

YLT

Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use perversely balances of deceit.

F.O.G Original

Saying, “When will the new moon pass over, so that we may sell grain, The Sabbath, that we may open the wheat [market], To make an ephah-measure smaller, and a shekel-weight bigger,” That is, to cheat with fraudulent scales.
