12 you must cut off her hand. Don't have any mercy.
13-14 Don't try to cheat people by having two sets of weights or measures, one to get more when you are buying, and the other to give less when you are selling.

16 But the Lord is disgusted with anyone who cheats or is dishonest.
17 People of Israel, do you remember what the Amalekites did to you after you came out of Egypt?
18 You were tired, and they followed along behind, attacking those who could not keep up with the others. This showed that the Amalekites have no respect for God.
19 The Lord your God will help you capture the land, and he will give you peace. But when that day comes, you must wipe out Amalek so completely that no one will remember they ever lived.
