Deuteronomy 19:16-20

161If a malicious witness rises up against a man to 2accuse him of 3wrongdoing,

17then both the men who have the dispute shall stand 4before the Lord, before the priests and the judges who will be in office in those days.

18The judges 5shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is a false witness and he has 6accused his brother falsely,

19then 7you shall do to him just as he had intended to do to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.

208The rest will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such an evil thing among you.
