- Job 16:9
His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.
Commentary on Job 16:91 voice
Ver. 9. He gathered his fury against me; and threatening me he gnashed against me with his teeth; mine enemy looked on me with terrible eyes. What else are all wicked men but members of the devil? Therefore he himself does by them, whatever he puts it into their hearts that they ought to do.

- Psalms 35:16
Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
Commentary on Psalms 35:161 voice
"They were scattered and were not repentant." He shows that they were not recalled or changed to good by the second remedy, which is the divine scourge; and regarding this he does three things. First, he shows the evil they suffered; second, the lack of …
Thomas Aquinas· Exposition on the Psalms of David, 1274Patristic
- Psalms 37:12
The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,
Commentary on Psalms 37:121 voice
(Vers. 12, 13.) It follows: The sinner will observe the just and will gnash his teeth over him. But the Lord will deride him; for He sees that his day is coming. It is customary for one who is angry and seething to gnash his teeth: but the heart of the wicked also has its teeth, which are not accustomed to merely making noise, but to tearing. The sinner's traps, schemes, and wickedness are his teeth.
Ambrose of Milan· Commentaries on the Twelve Davidic Psalms, 397Patristic
- Psalms 112:10
The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
Commentary on Psalms 112:101 voice
The wicked shall see it,.... The glory and happiness of the upright man: so when the witnesses shall ascend to heaven, a phrase expressive of a more glorious state of the church, their enemies shall behold them, Rev 11:12. And be grieved; at their happiness, and grudge it: the Targum is, "and shall be angry at him;'' the upright man.

- Proverbs 10:26
Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is the slacker to those who send him.
Commentary on Proverbs 10:261 voice
Just as vinegar to the teeth, etc. Just as the treachery of heretics generates trouble and tears for good teachers, so a Catholic living badly is a burden through laziness to those who have been commanded to show their faith through works. For the eyes …
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
- Lamentations 2:16
All your enemies open their mouths against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth, saying, “We have swallowed her up. This is the day for which we have waited. We have lived to see it!”
Commentary on Lamentations 2:161 voice
Here a reviling from enemies is exposed. There: "All your enemies rail against you." That is, the Idumeans, the Moabites, and other enemies rail by accusing. Then: "they hiss" by detracting. "they gnash their teeth" by threatening. Also: "they cry: 'We have destroyed her!'" by …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Lamentations, 1274Patristic
- Matthew 8:12
But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Commentary on Matthew 8:121 voice
(V. 12) But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness. The sons of the kingdom signify the Jews, over whom God reigned before. They shall be cast out into outer darkness. Darkness is always within, not without. But because he who is expelled from the Lord leaves behind the light, therefore outer darkness is so named. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. If there is weeping of the eyes, and gnashing of teeth demonstrates the bones: therefore, the resurrection of the bodies and their members that had fallen is true.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Matthew 13:42
And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- Matthew 13:50
and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Commentary on Matthew 13:501 voice
For when the end of the world shall be come, then shall be shown the true test of separating the fishes, and as in a sheltered harbour the good shall be sent into the vessels of heavenly abodes, but the flame of hell shall seize the wicked to be dried up and withered.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
- Matthew 22:13
Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Commentary on Matthew 22:131 voice
(Verse 13) Then the king said to the servants: Bind his hands and feet and send him into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The hands and feet being bound, the weeping of the eyes, and the gnashing of teeth, signify the truth of the resurrection being tested. Or certainly, the hands and feet are bound so that they may not do evil and run to shed blood. In the weeping of the eyes and the gnashing of teeth, the intensity of the torments is shown metaphorically through the limbs of the body.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Matthew 24:51
Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Commentary on Matthew 24:512 voices
(Verse 50, 51.) The lord of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and he will divide him and place his portion with the hypocrites. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. This teaches that they should know when the lord is not expected, then he will come, and it warns the stewards of vigilance and diligence.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
He shall cut him in sunder, is not to be understood of execution by the sword, but that he shall sever him from the company of the saints. And shall appoint him his portion with the hypocrites, with those, namely, that were in the field, and grinding at the mill, and were nevertheless left. For as we often say that the hypocrite is one who is one thing, and passes himself for another; so in the field and at the mill he seemed to be doing the same as others, but the event proved that his purpose was different.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
- Matthew 25:30
And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
- Mark 9:18
Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
- Luke 13:28
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.
- Acts 7:54
On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
Commentary on Acts 7:541 voice
If the Jews wanted to kill Stephen, then why did they not kill him immediately? Because they wanted to present a plausible pretext for their audacity, since the insult he had caused them was not a plausible pretext for killing him; moreover, what they considered …
