'Causes' in the Bible

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent enriches.

The winking of an eye causes trouble, and the foolishness of lips comes to ruin.

A heart of tranquility [is] life [to the] flesh, but causes bones of passion to rot.

Gentleness of tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it [causes] a break in spirit.

He who does violence to a father, he who chases away a mother, [is] a child who causes shame and brings reproach.
