Deuteronomy 25:1-3
American Standard Version
25 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. 2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number. 3 Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.

25 “(A)If there is a dispute between men and they go to [a]court, and [b]the judges decide their case, (B)and they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked, 2 then it shall be if the wicked man [c](C)deserves to be beaten, the judge shall then make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the number of stripes according to his [d]guilt. 3 (D)He may beat him forty times but no more, so that he does not beat him with many more stripes than these and your brother is not (E)degraded in your eyes.
