Deuteronomy 19:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ The judges must be careful to discover who is telling the truth. The person may be speaking lies against another Israelite to accuse him. ¹⁹ If he is telling lies, you must punish him in the same way that he wanted to punish the other Israelite. You must remove evil things like this from among yourselves. ²⁰ Then everyone else will hear what has happened. They will be afraid to do any more evil things like that.
