'Cause' in the Bible

Great is the sin of Jerusalem; for this cause she has become an unclean thing: all those who gave her honour are looking down on her, because they have seen her shame: now truly, breathing out grief, she is turned back.

In his doing wrong to a man in his cause, the Lord has no pleasure.

They who are against me without cause have gone hard after me as if I was a bird;

O Lord, you have taken up the cause of my soul, you have made my life safe.

O Lord, you have seen my wrong; be judge in my cause.
