Justice for All

23 “You ^(A)shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an ^(B)unrighteous witness.

¹³ And two men, scoundrels, came in and sat before him; and the scoundrels ^(A)witnessed against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth has blasphemed God and the king!” ^(B)Then they took him outside the city and stoned him with stones, so that he died.

¹⁶ If a false witness ^(A)rises against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing, ¹⁷ then both men in the controversy shall stand before the Lord, ^(B)before the priests and the judges who serve in those days. ¹⁸ And the judges shall make careful inquiry, and indeed, if the witness is a false witness, who has testified falsely against his brother, ^19 (C)then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so ^(D)you shall put away the evil from among you. ^20 (E)And those who remain shall hear and fear, and hereafter they shall not again commit such evil among you. ^21 (F)Your eye shall not pity: ^(G)life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
