The Scriptures 1998

“But if there is injury, then you shall give life for life,

eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

burn for burn, wound for wound, lash for lash.

‘And he who smites a beast repays it, body for body.

‘Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he inflicts a blemish upon him, so it is done to him.

“You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’

“For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged. And with the same measure you use, it shall be measured to you.

“And let your eye not pardon, life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
