Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person be guilty;

7

Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Punishment Language

The verse describes a restitution process for a trespass against another person, not a divine judgment or punishment from God. The "recompense" is a human act of restoration, not a divine act of wrath or vengeance.
