Then they said, Come and let us devise schemes against Jeremiah. For the Law shall not perish from the priest, nor wisdom from the wise, nor the Word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Now ask the priests the Law, saying,

For the lips of the priest should keep knowledge, and they should seek the Law from his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of Hosts.

then both men in the controversy shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who hold office in those days.

then you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother; thus you shall remove the evil from among you.

Your eye shall not pity: soul for soul, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

And in a dispute they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments. They shall keep My Laws and My statutes in all My appointed times, and they shall consecrate My Sabbaths.
