Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Are you still hoarding wealth you got through shady deals? Still cheating people with rigged scales and short measurements that I absolutely hate?
God sees when you're cutting corners and cheating people to get ahead.
