In biblical context, this aligns with the theme of divine justice, where the wicked ultimately face the consequences of their actions. The grief experienced by the wicked is not just emotional but also spiritual, as they recognize their separation from God's favor. This echoes the sentiments found in <a href="/psalms/37-12.htm">Psalm 37:12-13</a>, where the wicked plot against the righteous, but the Lord laughs at them, knowing their day is coming.<p><b>he will gnash his teeth and waste away;</b><br>Gnashing of teeth is a biblical expression of extreme anger or frustration, often associated with the judgment of God. This imagery is used in the New Testament, particularly in <a href="/matthew/8-12.htm">Matthew 8:12</a>, where it describes the fate of those cast into outer darkness. The phrase "waste away" indicates a gradual decline or destruction, both physically and spiritually. This reflects the biblical principle that sin leads to death, as stated in <a href="/romans/6-23.htm">Romans 6:23</a>, and highlights the futility of a life lived in opposition to God's will.<p><b>the desires of the wicked will perish.</b><br>The desires of the wicked are often rooted in selfishness, greed, and rebellion against God. This phrase underscores the temporary nature of such desires, contrasting them with the eternal rewards promised to the righteous. In a broader biblical context, this aligns with the teachings of Jesus in <a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-20</a>, where He advises storing up treasures in heaven rather than on earth. The perishing of wicked desires serves as a reminder of the ultimate triumph of God's kingdom and the futility of pursuing worldly gains at the expense of one's soul.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wicked_man.htm">The Wicked Man</a></b><br>Represents those who live in opposition to God's ways, characterized by their unrighteous actions and desires.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_righteous.htm">The Righteous</a></b><br>Although not directly mentioned in this verse, the context of <a href="/bsb/psalms/112.htm">Psalm 112</a> contrasts the wicked with the righteous, who are blessed and favored by God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_event_of_judgment.htm">The Event of Judgment</a></b><br>The verse implies a moment of realization and judgment where the wicked see the prosperity of the righteous and are filled with grief.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_wickedness.htm">The Consequences of Wickedness</a></b><br>The verse serves as a sobering reminder that living in opposition to God's will leads to ultimate disappointment and destruction.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_divine_justice.htm">The Reality of Divine Justice</a></b><br>God's justice is assured, and the wicked will face the consequences of their actions, even if it seems delayed.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_futility_of_wicked_desires.htm">The Futility of Wicked Desires</a></b><br>Desires that are not aligned with God's will are ultimately unfulfilling and lead to ruin.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/e/encouragement_for_the_righteous.htm">Encouragement for the Righteous</a></b><br>The righteous can take comfort in knowing that their faithfulness will be rewarded, and the apparent success of the wicked is temporary.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/call_to_repentance.htm">Call to Repentance</a></b><br>This verse can serve as a call for self-examination and repentance for those who may be straying from God's path.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_112.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 112</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_was_colossae_church's_role.htm">Did Job's words contain any sin?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_the_garden_of_eden_important.htm">Is one day with You better than a thousand elsewhere?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_psalm_75_10_conflict_with_literalism.htm">Psalm 75:10 mentions the cutting off of 'horns' of the wicked; does this figurative language conflict with a literal approach to interpreting biblical texts?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_psalm_140_10_show_mercy.htm">How does calling for coals of fire upon evildoers in Psalm 140:10 align with the concept of a merciful God?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/112.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) <span class= "bld">Gnash.</span>--See <a href="/psalms/35-16.htm" title="With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed on me with their teeth.">Psalm 35:16</a>.<p><span class= "bld">Melt away.</span>--As we say, "Consume with vexation."<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/112.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The wicked shall see it, and be grieved</span>.
