PROVOKE . ‘To provoke’ is now ‘to try to call forth evil passions,’ but in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] it is used in the sense of inciting to any action, good or evil, as 2 Corinthians 9:2 ‘Your zeal hath provoked very many.’ ‘Provocation,’ however, always occurs in a bad sense. It is used in Psalms 95:8 of the conduct of the children of Israel towards God in the wilderness.
