Deuteronomy 19:15-21
1599 Geneva Bible
15 ¶ (A)One witness shall not rise against a man for any trespass, or for any sin, or for any fault that he offendeth in, (B)but at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be stablished.
16 ¶ If a false witness rise up against a man to accuse him of trespass,
17 Then both the men which strive together, shall stand before the [a]Lord, even before the Priests and the Judges, which shall be in those days.
18 And the Judges shall make diligent inquisition: and if the witness be found false, and hath given false witness against his brother,
19 (C)Then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to do unto his brother: so thou shalt take evil away forth of the midst of thee.
20 And the rest shall hear this, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such wickedness among you.
21 Therefore thine eye shall have no compassion, but (D)life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
