New King James Version
17 (A)‘Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death. 18 (B)Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.
19 ‘If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as (C)he has done, so shall it be done to him— 20 fracture for (D)fracture, (E)eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him. 21 And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death. 22 You shall have (F)the[a] same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your God.’ ”
