Weeping and gnashing of teeth

Phrase in the Bible

Gnashing (חרק) of teeth (שנים) appears several times in the Old Testament, including three mentions in Psalms, one in Job and one in Lamentations. Lamentations says, of the Babylonian occupiers of Jerusalem, "שָֽׁרְקוּ֙ וַיַּֽחַרְקוּ־שֵׁ֔ן," "They hiss and gnash their teeth". In all Old Testament instances, except Psalms 112:10, the gnashing appears to be an act of persecution and not suffering.
