DEUTERONOMY 19:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;”
Then you shall do to the false witness just as the false witness had meant to do to the other party; so you shall purge the evil from your midst — this is the lex talionis (law of retaliation) applied to perjury; the false witness receives the same punishment they sought to inflict on the innocent, making the witness experience the consequence of their malice.
