Deuteronomy 19

Bible drabble

In reading a section in Deuteronomy titled 'Witnesses' there are few famous lines that have been used many times in many circumstances like 'an eye for an eye', 'a tooth for a tooth', hand for a hand', and a 'foot for a foot'. What if today we would do this literally to various criminals depending on the offense. Do you think the rate of various crimes would decrease and purge the evil from whomever. We must remember not to give false testimony for one never knows when it will come back to bite you in the but when least expected.
