我舉目觀看，見有一個人，手裏拿着量繩。於是我説：“你要到哪裏去？” 他對我説：“我要去量度耶路撒冷，看城有多長多寬。”（撒迦利亞書 2：1-2）  

And I proceeded to raise my eyes and see; and, look! there was a man, and in his hand a measuring rope. So I said: “Where are you going?” In turn he said to me: “To measure Jerusalem, in order to see what her breadth amounts to and what her length amounts to.”(Zechariah 2:1-2)

 跟我説話的天使前來，對我説：“請你舉目觀看，看接着來的是甚麽。” 我説：“這是甚麽？” 他説：“是個量籃。”他又説：“裏面所盛的是全地的醜態。”忽然圓形的鉛蓋打開了，有個婦人坐在量籃裏。天使説：“這就是‘邪惡’。”他把婦人推回量籃裏，在量籃口上，蓋上沉重的鉛蓋。（撒迦利亞書 5：5-8）

Then the angel who was speaking with me went forth and said to me: “Raise your eyes, please, and see what this is that is going forth.” So I said: “What is it?” In turn he said: “This is the e′phah measure that is going forth.” And he went on to say: “This is their aspect in all the earth.” And, look! the circular lid of lead was lifted up; and this is a certain woman sitting in the midst of the e′phah. So he said: “This is Wickedness.” And he proceeded to throw her [back] into the midst of the e′phah, after which he threw the lead weight upon its mouth.(Zechariah 5:5-8)

（彌迦書 6：10-12） 惡人家裏還有不義之財嗎？ 還有可惡不合標準的量器嗎？如果我使用不義的天平，袋裏有騙人的砝碼，我還算清白嗎？ 城裏的富户常用暴力，城裏的居民愛説假話，人人油嘴滑舌，説話詭詐。

(Micah 6:10-12)  Can I be [morally] clean with wicked scales and with a bag of deceptive stone weights? For her own rich men have become full of violence, and her own inhabitants have spoken falsehood, and their tongue is tricky in their mouth.

“你們這些吞吃窮人，為要消滅地上謙和人的，要聽以下的話。你們説：‘新月節幾時才過去，好讓我們賣穀物呢？ 安息日幾時才過去，好讓我們賣麥子呢？我們要把量籃弄小，把砝碼加重，用假天平騙人（阿摩司書 8：4-5）

“Hear this, YOU men snapping at someone poor, even in order to cause the meek ones of the earth to cease, saying, ‘How long will it be before the new moon passes and we may sell cereals? Also, the sabbath, and we may offer grain for sale; in order to make the e′phah small and to make the shekel great and to falsify the scales of deception; (Amos 8:4-5)

他又使我預見一個景象：耶和華手拿測錘，站在一道按測錘築成的牆上。 耶和華對我説：“阿摩司，你看見甚麽？”我説：“一個測錘。”耶和華説：“我要在我的子民以色列人當中放下測錘，我不會再饒恕他們。（阿摩司書 7：7-8）

 This is what he caused me to see, and, look! Jehovah was stationed on a wall [made with] a plummet, and there was a plummet in his hand. Then Jehovah said to me: “What are you seeing, A′mos?” So I said: “A plummet.” And Jehovah went on to say: “Here I am setting a plummet in the midst of my people Israel. I shall no more do any further excusing of it. (Amos 7:7-8)

耶和華定意摧毁錫安的城牆。他拉了量度的準繩，沒有把手收回，定要吞滅。他使壁壘和城牆悲哀，一同敗落。(耶利米哀歌2:8)

This is what Jehovah has said: "'If the heavens up above could be measured and the foundations of the earth below could be searched out, I myself also could reject the entire seed of Israel on account of all that they have done,' is the utterance of Jehovah."

And the line for measurement will yet actually go forth straight ahead to the hill of Ga´reb, and it will certainly go around to Go´ah. (Jeremiah 31:37-39)

誰能用手心量海水，用手掌量高天，用容器量大地的塵土，用秤稱山岳，用天平稱岡陵呢？誰能測量耶和華的動力，誰能做他的謀士指教他呢？ (以賽亞書40:12, 13)
Who has measured the waters in the mere hollow of his hand, and taken the proportions of the heavens themselves with a mere span and included in a measure the dust of the earth, or weighed with an indicator the mountains, and the hills in the scales? Who has taken the proportions of the spirit of Jehovah, and who as his man of counsel can make him know anything? (Isaiah 40:12, 13) the measuring line
