Deuteronomy 19:15-21

21st Century King James Version

¹⁵ “One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth. By the mouth of two witnesses or by the mouth of three witnesses shall the matter be established.

¹⁶ If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong,

¹⁷ then both the men involved in the controversy shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;

¹⁸ and the judges shall make diligent inquisition. And behold, if the witness be a false witness and hath testified falsely against his brother,

¹⁹ then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to have done unto his brother; so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.

²⁰ And those who remain shall hear and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.

²¹ And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
