## Deuteronomy 19:18 in Context (Verses 15–21 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/19/15) ¶ One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/19/16) ¶ If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him *that which is* wrong;*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/19/17) Then both the men, between whom the controversy *is*, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
 
 [18 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/19/18) And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, *if* the witness *be* a false witness, *and* hath testified falsely against his brother;
 
 [19 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/19/19) 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.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/19/20) And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/19/21) And thine eye shall not pity; *but* life *shall go* for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
