Deuteronomy 19:16-21

16 If a malicious witness arises to accuse a person of wrongdoing,

16 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse someone of a crime,

17 then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days.

17 the two people involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time.

18 The judges shall inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely,

18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against a fellow Israelite,

19 then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

19 then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party. You must purge the evil from among you.

20 And the rest shall hear and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil among you.

20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you.

21 Your eye shall not pity. It shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

21 Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
