Deuteronomy 19:19

Verse 19 of 21. The 19th of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

15One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin that he sins. At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.

16If an unrighteous witness rises up against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing,

17then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;

18and the judges shall make diligent inquisition; and behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother,

19then you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

20Those who remain shall hear, and fear, and will never again commit any such evil among you.

21Your eyes shall not pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
