Bible verse
You must show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.
Deuteronomy 19:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 19.
17 both parties to the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD, before the priests and judges who are in office at that time.
18 The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is proven to be a liar who has falsely accused his brother,
19 you must do to him as he intended to do to his brother. So you must purge the evil from among you.
20 Then the rest of the people will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything so evil among you.
21 You must show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.
