'Contention' in the Bible

You make us an object of contention to our neighbors,And our enemies laugh among themselves.

Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out,Even strife and dishonor will cease.

“Behold, you fast for contention and strife and to strike with a wicked fist.You do not fast like you do today to make your voice heard on high.

Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne meAs a man of strife and a man of contention to all the land!I have not lent, nor have men lent money to me,Yet everyone curses me.

Why do You make me see iniquity,And cause me to look on wickedness?Yes, destruction and violence are before me;Strife exists and contention arises.
