This is the cause, that my words are so sorrowful.

Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and wherein I have erred, cause me to understand.

He troubleth me so with the tempest, and woundeth me out of measure without a cause.

and will say unto God: O do not condemn me; but show me the cause, wherefore thou contendest so with me.

"For the same cause do my thoughts compel me to answer. And why? My mind is tossed here and there.

"For though the wicked have never so much to fill his belly, yet God shall send his wrath upon him, and cause his indignation to rain over him:

to plead my cause before him, and to fill my mouth with arguments:

This is the cause, that I shrink at his presence, so that when I consider him I am afraid of him.

They are the cause that so many men are naked and bare, having no clothes to cover them and keep them from cold;

God forbid, that I should grant your cause to be right! As for me, until mine end come will I never go from my innocence.

I was a father unto the poor, and when I knew not their cause, I sought it out diligently.

O that I had one which would hear me. Lo, this is my cause: Let the almighty give me answer, and let him that is my contrary party, sue me with libel.

But if cause be that my land cry against me, or that the furrows thereof make any complaint;

I must needs be a liar, though my cause be right, and violently am I plagued whereas I made no fault.'

For then shall not thy cause be stilled with cruelty, nor pacified with many gifts.

and cause his light to shine upon them, and to cover the bottom of the sea.
