Justice is good; but revenge is bad. The Old Testament law enabled justice to be done in a proportional way: a murderer would lose his own life, and the one who knocked out somebody else's tooth would lose his own. It was good for public order and kept crime to a minimum. But there was no way to modify the punishment or even forgive the offender. There was no mercy and no grace.
