Exodus 21:23-25 is referring to lex talionis, the law of retaliation, whereby a punishment resembles the offence committed in kind and degree.
That is not karma.
Karma would be 'if you cut out someone's left eye, you shall eventually lose your left eye in this life or the next'
Vengeance is 'he took your eye, you may take his, for it is proportionate retribution'
Vengeance and karma are not the same.
These laws were to be carried out by a government of people not by individuals utilizing vigilante justice. It is part of a justice system and still holds true today (capital punishment). Just to clarify.
