5 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “violence” →
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
