Deuteronomy 25:1

“For every breach of trust, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any lost thing about which one says, ‘This is it,’ the case of both parties shall come before the judges; he whom the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.

“Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not justify the guilty.

“According to the terms of the law which they teach you, and according to the judgment which they tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the word which they declare to you, to the right or the left.

“And the judges shall inquire thoroughly, and behold, if the witness is a false witness and he has accused his brother falsely,

then listen in heaven and act and judge Your slaves, condemning the wicked by bringing his way on his own head and justifying the righteous by bringing him reward according to his righteousness.
