Deuteronomy 19:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 Your eye shall not take pity on him, and you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, so that good will be directed toward you.[a]
14 “You shall not move the boundary marker of your neighbor that former generations[b] set up on your property in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you to take possession of it. 15 The testimony of a single witness may not be used to convict[c] with respect to any crime and for any wrongdoing in any offense that a person[d] committed; on the evidence[e] of two witnesses or on the evidence[f] of three witnesses a charge shall be sustained.[g]

New International Version
13 Show no pity.(A) You must purge from Israel the guilt of shedding innocent blood,(B) so that it may go well with you.
14 Do not move your neighbor’s boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess.(C)
Witnesses
15 One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.(D)
