Deuteronomy 19:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 the two parties in the dispute shall appear in the presence of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and judges in office at that time,(A) 18 (B)and the judges must investigate it thoroughly. If the witness is a false witness and has falsely accused the other,(C) 19 you shall do to the false witness just as that false witness planned to do to the other. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.
