NET Bible
"you must do to him what he had intended to do to the accused. In this way you will purge evil from among you."
— Deuteronomy 19:19, NET Bible
“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.”
“then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to do unto his brother: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee. ”
“then you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.”
“They shall render to him as he meant to do to his brother, and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee:”
“Then do to him what it was his purpose to do to his brother: and so put away the evil from among you.”
“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.”
If a false witness testifies against another person and accuses him of a crime,
then both parties to the controversy must stand before the LORD, that is, before the priests and judges who will be in office in those days.
The judges will thoroughly investigate the matter, and if the witness should prove to be false and to have given false testimony against the accused,
you must do to him what he had intended to do to the accused. In this way you will purge evil from among you.
The rest of the people will hear and become afraid to keep doing such evil among you.
You must not show pity; the principle will be a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, and a foot for a foot.
