- ἐρεθίζω erethízō · G2042 · to make resentful, to make someone bitter, to cause
- ἐρεθίζω shares the semantic field of provocation and stimulation. While παραζηλόω is specifically to provoke to jealousy/rivalry, ἐρεθίζω is a broader term for provocation or stimulation that can overlap in contexts of emotional arousal and motivation.
- παροξύνω paroxýnō · G3947 · to be provoked, to be upset
- παροξύνω means to provoke or incite to strong emotion or action. It shares with παραζηλόω the prefix παρα- and the sense of provoking emotional response, though παροξύνω is broader and often negative (provoking to anger) while παραζηλόω is specifically about jealousy/rivalry.

- קָנָא qânâʼ · H7065 · to be zealous, to be wrought up, to be concerned for
- The Hebrew verb קָנָא covers the semantic range of provoking jealousy/envy, which is the core meaning of παραζηλόω. The Greek term is used in Romans 10:19 and 11:11,14 citing or alluding to Deuteronomy 32:21 where the Hebrew is קָנָא in the hiphil (to provoke to jealousy), making this a direct translation equivalent.
