Deuteronomy 19:18-21
English Standard Version
18 The judges shall (A)inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, 19 (B)then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil[a] from your midst. 20 And the rest (C)shall hear and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil among you. 21 (D)Your eye shall not pity. (E)It shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
