If they say, Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause:

Strive not with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.

For they sleep not, unless they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause someone to fall.

That I may cause those that love me to inherit wealth; and I will fill their treasuries.

He that speaks first in his own cause seems just; until his neighbor comes and examines him.

For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with you.

Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?

Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.

Debate your cause with your neighbor himself; and disclose not a secret to another:

As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying, so the curse without cause shall not alight.

The righteous considers the cause of the poor: but the wicked regards not such knowledge.

Open your mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all who are left desolate.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
