'Cause' in the Bible

that search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time; for which cause was this city laid waste.

Make ye now a decree to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until a decree shall be made by me.
