Deuteronomy 19:18
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is proven to be a liar who has falsely accused his brother,
In context
16 If a false witness testifies against someone, accusing him of a crime,
17 both parties to the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD, before the priests and judges who are in office at that time.
18 The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is proven to be a liar who has falsely accused his brother,
19 you must do to him as he intended to do to his brother. So you must purge the evil from among you.
20 Then the rest of the people will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything so evil among you.
