DEUTERONOMY 19:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
do not show pity in your judging; you shall have life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot — the reiteration of the lex talionis principle underscores its importance as the measure of just retaliation; proportionality becomes the boundary between justice and vendetta.
