Suppose a witness who tells lies goes to court and brings charges against someone. The witness says someone committed a crime.Then the two people in the case must stand in front of the Lord. They must stand in front of the priests and the judges who are in office at that time.The judges must check out the matter carefully. And suppose the witness is proved to be lying. Then he has said something false in court against another Israelite.So do to the lying witness what he tried to do to the other person. Get rid of that evil witness.The rest of the people will hear about it. And they will be afraid. They won’t allow such an evil thing to be done among them again.Don’t feel sorry for that evil person. A life must be taken for a life. An eye must be put out for an eye. A tooth must be knocked out for a tooth. A hand must be cut off for a hand and a foot for a foot.

My enemies want to harm me. So don’t turn me over to them. Witnesses who tell lies are rising up against me. They say all sorts of evil things about me.

Five days later Ananias the high priest went down to Caesarea. Some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus went with him. They brought their charges against Paul to the governor.So Paul was called in. Tertullus began to bring the charges against Paul. He said to Felix,“ We have enjoyed a long time of peace while you have been ruling. You are a wise leader. You have made this a better nation.Most excellent Felix, we gladly admit this everywhere and in every way. And we are very thankful.I don’t want to bother you. But would you be kind enough to listen to us for a short time?“ We have found that Paul is a troublemaker. This man stirs up trouble among Jews all over the world.

So she wrote some letters in Ahab’s name. She stamped them with his royal seal.

Have Naboth sit in an important place among the people.But put two worthless and evil men in seats across from him. Have them bring charges that he has cursed God and the king. Then take him out of the city. Kill him by throwing stones at him.”So the elders and nobles who lived in that city did what Jezebel wanted. They did everything she directed in the letters she had written to them.They announced a day of fasting. They had Naboth sit in an important place among the people.Then two worthless and evil men came and sat across from him. They brought charges against Naboth in front of the people. The two men said,“ Naboth has cursed God and the king.” So they took him outside the city. They killed him by throwing stones at him.
