Contend not with a man without cause, if he hath dealt thee no wrong.

For they sleep not, unless they can do mischief, - They rob themselves of their sleep, if they cannot cause someone to stumble,

For this cause, suddenly cometh his doom, in a moment, shall he be torn in pieces and there be no mending.

For this cause, came I forth to meet thee, to seek diligently thy face, and I have found thee:

That I may cause them who love me to inherit substance, and, their treasuries, I may fill.

Only by pride, doth one cause contention, but, with the well-advised, is wisdom.

When, acceptable to Yahweh, are the ways of a man, even his enemies, doth he cause to make peace with him.

Righteous is he that is first in his own cause, then cometh his neighbour, and thoroughly searcheth him.

Cease, my son, to hear instruction that would cause thee to wander from the sayings of knowledge.

To cause thee to know the meaning of faithful sayings, that thou mayest give back faithful sayings to them who ask thee.

For, Yahweh, will plead their cause, and will despoil their despoilers of life.

For, their near of kin, is strong, he, will plead their cause with thee.

Open thy mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all the children of the departed.
