A paired coordinate structure of ish riv {אִישׁ רִיב | ʾîš rîḇ} 'man of strife' and ve-ish madon {וְאִישׁ מָדוֹן | wə-ʾîš mā·ḏôn} 'and man of contention' intensifies the identity.
In context — Jeremiah 15:10
Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to all the land! I have not lent, nor have they lent to me, yet all of them curse me .
