teeth

²Your teeth are like flocks of shorn sheep, which ascend from the washing, each one with its identical twin, and not one among them is barren.

¹¹For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.

¹²The sinner will observe the just, and he will gnash his teeth over him.

³⁰And cast that useless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

⁸For you have struck all those who oppose me without cause. You have broken the teeth of sinners.

⁶Therefore, because of this, I have given you dull teeth in every one of your cities, and a lack of bread in all your places. And you have not been turned back towards me, says the Lord.

¹⁵I have established you like a new threshing cart, having serrated blades. You will thresh the mountains and crush them. And you will turn the hills into chaff.

¹³Then the king said to the ministers: ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹⁸And answering them, he said: “O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to me.”

²⁶Like vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is a lazy one to those who sent him.

¹²But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

⁹My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a liar rises up against my face, contradicting me.

¹⁰The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.

⁵⁴Then, upon hearing these things, they were deeply wounded in their hearts, and they gnashed their teeth at him.

¹⁶They have been scattered, yet they were unremorseful. They have tested me. They scoffed at me with scorn. They gnashed their teeth over me.

¹Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence. ²But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night. ³And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper. ⁴Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth. ⁵Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just. ⁶For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
