H2555 - violence

From H2554; violence; by implication wrong; by metonymy unjust gain: - cruel (-ty), damage, false, injustice, X oppressor, unrighteous, violence (against, done), violent (dealing), wrong.

Oba 1:8-10 NASB
(8) "Will I not on that day," declares the LORD, "Destroy wise men from Edom And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
(9) "Then your mighty men will be dismayed, O Teman, So that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
(10) "Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever.

Interesting that the bible knew about Hamas centuries before it was ever founded. :)
