In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe an expression of anger, rage, or intense frustration. This term is typically associated with the emotional response of those who are in anguish or experiencing deep regret.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish culture, gnashing of teeth was a common expression of extreme anger or despair. It is often depicted in the context of judgment or severe emotional distress. This expression is rooted in the physical act of grinding one's teeth together, which can occur involuntarily during moments of intense emotion.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a root trig-<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to cry, chirp, to grind the teeth<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>grinds (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5149: τρίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">τρίζω</span></span>; <span class="accented">to squeak, make a shrill cry</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Lucian</span>, others): transitive, <span class="greek2">τούς</span> <span class="greek2">δωντας</span>, <span class="accented">to grind or gnash the teeth,</span> <a href="/interlinear/mark/9-18.htm">Mark 9:18</a>; <span class="greek2">κατά</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Ev.
