'Cause' in the Bible

If they say, “Come with us;Let us lie in wait to shed blood,Let us ambush the innocent without cause;

I also will laugh at your disaster;I will mock when your dread and panic come,

That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth and true riches,And that I may fill their treasuries.

Commit your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him],And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance].

A man of great anger will bear the penalty [for his quick temper and lack of self-control];For if you rescue him [and do not let him learn from the consequences of his action], you will only have to rescue him over and over again.

For the Lord will plead their caseAnd take the life of those who rob them.

For their Redeemer is strong and mighty;He will plead their case against you.

Who has woe? Who has sorrow?Who has strife? Who has complaining?Who has wounds without cause?Whose eyes are red and dim?

Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,And do not deceive with your lips [speak neither lies nor half-truths].

Argue your case with your neighbor himself [before you go to court];And do not reveal another’s secret,
