Contrary what many secular thinkers try to pretend, the biblical statement that includes "…an eye for an eye…" is not a statement demanding revenge, rather it is statement about prudence and even handedness and cautions society to avoid imposing a punishment that results in a greater injury than was warranted by the crime. Punishment (in civilized societies) should not be a form of revenge. Rather, it should be punitive and/or it should strive to redress injury or loss, through loss of the one who is the transgressor (loss of life, loss of freedoms, financial costs), etc. The Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution addresses punishment using terms of art - that are intentionally ambiguous.
