'Cause' in the Bible

If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood; let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

Don't strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.

He who pleads his cause first seems right; until another comes and questions him.

Don't be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don't deceive with your lips.

Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
