16 If a false witnesse rise vp agaynst a man, to accuse hym of trespasse: 17 Then both the men which stryue together, shall stande before the Lorde, before the priestes and the iudges which shalbe in those dayes: 18 And the iudges shall make diligent inquisition: and if the witnesse be founde false, and that he hath geuen false witnesse agaynst his brother: 19 Then shall ye do vnto hym, as he had thought to do vnto his brother, & thou shalt put euyll away from the middes of thee. 20 And other shall heare, and feare, and shall hencefoorth commit no more any such wickednesse among you. 21 And thine eye shall haue no copassion, but lyfe for lyfe, eye for eye, toothe for toothe, hande for hande, foote for foote.
