19 then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party. You must purge the evil from among you.
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
19 then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil
19 give him the same medicine he intended for the other party. Clean the polluting evil from your company.
19 then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so you shall put away the evil from among you.
19 you must impose on the accuser the sentence he intended for the other person. In this way, you will purge such evil from among you.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished,
5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape.
5 Perjury won't go unpunished. Would you let a liar go free?
5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies will not escape.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished, nor will a liar escape.
(Read Proverbs 19:5)
Those that tell lies in discourse, are in a fair way to be guilty of bearing false-witness.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 19:19
Commentary on Deuteronomy 19:15-21
(Read Deuteronomy 19:15-21)
Sentence should never be passed upon the testimony of one witness alone. A false witness should suffer the same punishment which he sought to have inflicted upon the person he accused. Nor could any law be more just. Let all Christians not only be cautious in bearing witness in public, but be careful not to join in private slanders; and let all whose consciences accuse them of crime, without delay flee for refuge to the hope set before them in Jesus Christ.
