'Cause' in the Bible
The Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered and reflected on My servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God [with reverence] and abstains from and turns away from evil [because he honors God]. And still he maintains and holds tightly to his integrity, although you incited Me against him to destroy him without cause.”
“As for me, I would seek God and inquire of Him,And I would commit my cause to God;
“Teach me, and I will be silent;And show me how I have erred.
“For He bruises me with a tempestAnd multiplies my wounds without cause.
“If you say, ‘How shall we [continue to] persecute him?’And ‘What pretext for a case against him can we find [since we claim the root of these afflictions is found in him]?’
“I would present my cause before HimAnd fill my mouth with arguments.
“I was a father to the needy;I investigated the case I did not know [and assured justice].
“You lift me up on the wind and cause me to ride [upon it];And You toss me about in the tempest and dissolve me in the storm.
“If I have despised and rejected the claim of my male or female servantsWhen they filed a complaint against me,
“Now Job has not directed his words against me [therefore I have no reason to be offended],Nor will I answer him with arguments like yours. [I speak for truth, not for revenge.]
“For God pays a man according to his work,And He will make every man find [appropriate] compensation according to his way.
“Even though you say that you do not see Him [when missing His righteous judgment on earth],Yet your case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
To bring rain on the uninhabited land,And on the desert where no man lives,
