Deuteronomy 19:18
World English Bible (WEB)
and the judges shall make diligent inquisition; and behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother,
In context
16 If an unrighteous witness rises up against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing,
17 then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;
18 and the judges shall make diligent inquisition; and behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother,
19 then you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
20 Those who remain shall hear, and fear, and will never again commit any such evil among you.
