Deuteronomy 25:2-4
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 Then if the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence with a certain number of stripes according to his offense.
3 Forty stripes may be given him but not more, lest, if he should be beaten with many stripes, your brother should [be treated like a beast and] seem low and worthless to you.
4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.(A)
