Quarrelsome

People who have disputes among themselves or tend to quarrel and fight. Lovers of strife.

("Thus in the future to come the wicked are judged to Gehenna, and they rage against the Holy One, blessed be He, saying: 'Behold, we were expecting the salvation of the Holy One, blessed be He; and thus shall it be upon us?' The Holy One, blessed be He, says to them: 'In the world where you lived you were not quarrelsome, nor of evil tongue, nor of all evils were you; and not quarrelsome and violent were you.'" - Kohelet Rabba (Vilna), Parashah 3. And likewise: "When Krankel was received before the consuls, most quarrelsome ones were frightened and said: 'Our hands were not in this.'" - Agnon / Yesterday, the Day Before, p. 360)
