21Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.


In Context

18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against his brother,

20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you.

21 Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
