¹⁶ If an ed chamas (malicious, false witness) rise up against any ish to testify against him that which is wrong;

¹⁷ Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Hashem, before the kohanim and the shofetim, which shall be in those days;

¹⁸ And the shofetim shall make diligent inquiry; and, hinei, if the witness be an ed sheker (false witness), and hath testified falsely against his brother;

¹⁹ Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put harah away from among you.

²⁰ And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such rah among you.

²¹ And thine eye shall not pity; but nefesh shall go for nefesh, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, yad for yad, regel for regel.
