e Paragraph 14: This is a new explanation of Matthew 13:42. In the past, our publications said that false Christians have been ‘weeping and gnashing their teeth’ for many years because “the sons of the kingdom” were showing that the weeds were “sons of the wicked one.” (Matthew 13:38) However, the Bible uses the idea of grinding one’s teeth when it discusses those who will be destroyed.​—Psalm 112:10.
