Verse 16 is found in chapter 25 of Deuteronomy. Measures against commercial deception are established, and Israel is commanded to erase the memory of Amalek because of its attack when the people were vulnerable. Honesty in transactions and memory of historical aggression appear together as matters of justice. Israel must remember both how it should behave toward its neighbors and the violence it suffered on the journey from Egypt.

Denn wer solches tut, der ist dem HERRN, deinem Gott, ein Greuel wie alle, die übel tun.
Porque abominación es a Jehová tu Dios cualquiera que hace esto, cualquiera que hace agravio.
Porque todo el que hace estas cosas, todo el que comete injusticia, es una abominación para Jehová tu Dios.
Car quiconque fait ces choses, quiconque commet une iniquité, est en abomination à l'Eternel, ton Dieu.
Perciocchè chiunque fa cotali cose, chiunque fa iniquità, è in abbominio al Signore Iddio tuo.
Porque abominação é ao SENHOR teu Deus todo aquele que faz isto, todo aquele que fizer injustiça.
因為行這一切不義之事的人都是耶和華-你上帝所憎惡的。」
