'Cause' in the Bible

Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.

And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

Cause not thy mouth to hasten, and let not thy heart hasten to bring out a word before God, for God is in the heavens, and thou on the earth, therefore let thy words be few.

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.

Do not be in a hurry; leave his presence, and don’t persist in a bad cause, since he will do whatever he wants.

Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.

And turn aside anger from thy heart, And cause evil to pass from thy flesh, For the childhood and the age are vanity!
