If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

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

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

He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth 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 thee.

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

Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:

The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

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