Deuteronomy 19:16-21
161IfH3588 a maliciousH2555 witnessH5707 risesH6965 up against a manH376 to 2accuseH6030 him of 3wrongdoingH5627,
17then bothH8147 the menH376 whoH834 have the disputeH7379 shall standH5975 4beforeH6440 the LordH3068, beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 and the judgesH8199 whoH834 will be in office in thoseH1992 daysH3117.
18The judgesH8199 5shall investigateH1875 thoroughlyH3190, and ifH2009 the witnessH5707 is a falseH8267 witnessH5707 and he has 6accusedH6030 his brotherH251 falselyH8267,
19then 7you shall doH6213 to him justH3152 as he had intendedH2161 to doH6213 to his brotherH251. Thus you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from amongH7130 you.
208The restH7604 will hearH8085 and be afraidH3372, and will neverH3808 againH5750H3254 doH6213 suchH2088 an evilH7451 thingH1697 amongH7130 you.
21Thus 910you shall not showH2347 pityH2347: 11lifeH5315 for lifeH5315, 12eyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127, handH3027 for handH3027, footH7272 for footH7272.
