If our court system developed this type of restitution, I don’t think we would have the backlog there is today. If you are willing to take the punishment you’re trying to get for your opposition, then justice will be served. And if you’re not willing, then your case will be dropped due to its illegitimacy. There are still simple fixes to our system, it’s just a matter of implementing them. God’s way works. It always has, and always will.
16 “If a malicious witness comes forward and accuses someone of a crime, 17 then both the accuser and accused must appear before the Lord by coming to the priests and judges in office at that time. 18 The judges must investigate the case thoroughly. If the accuser has brought false charges against his fellow Israelite, 19 you must impose on the accuser the sentence he intended for the other person. In this way, you will purge such evil from among you. 20 Then the rest of the people will hear about it and be afraid to do such an evil thing. 21 You must show no pity for the guilty! Your rule should be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
