11 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “without” →
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
