'Case' in the Bible
This is the case of the manslayer, that shall flee there and live: whoever kills his neighbor unawares, and didn't hate him in time past;
Then I said to them, "You see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we won't be disgraced."
Teach us what we shall tell him, for we can't make our case by reason of darkness.
for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
for their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
Debate your case with your neighbor, and don't betray the confidence of another;
Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified.
Listen now to what Yahweh says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light. I will see his righteousness.
