Deuteronomy 19 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

16 If a lying witness stand against a man, accusing him of prevarication,

17 both of them, whose the cause is, shall stand before our Lord in the sight of the Priests and the judges that shall be in those days.

18 And when searching most diligently, they shall find that the false witness hath said a lie against his brother:

19 they shall render to him as he meant to do to this brother, and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee:

20 that others hearing may have fear, and may not be bold to do such things.

21 Thou shalt not pity him, but life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot shall thou exact.
