Deuteronomy 19:11-13

New International Version

¹¹ But if out of hate someone lies in wait, assaults and kills a neighbor,^(A) and then flees to one of these cities, ¹² the killer shall be sent for by the town elders, be brought back from the city, and be handed over to the avenger of blood to die. ¹³ Show no pity.^(B) You must purge from Israel the guilt of shedding innocent blood,^(C) so that it may go well with you.
