Deuteronomy

¹⁶If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of wrong-doing; ¹⁷then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges which shall be in those days; ¹⁸and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; ¹⁹then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to do unto his brother: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee. ²⁰And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee. ²¹And thine eye shall not pity; life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
