Teeth Grinding/ grinding (gnashing) of teeth

Figuratively: anger or a fierce spirit held in check. Self-control and restraint despite intense anger that arises (originally, the sound of teeth grinding).

("The wicked devises evil against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him" - Psalms 37:12, and also: "And with the last grinding of my teeth / the raging spirit will storm" - H.N. Bialik / God Did Not Show Me, and also: "All irritation and wrath and toil / and quarrels and gnashing of teeth / passed and faded like passing travelers" - Nathan Alterman / Lullaby)

Definition (Hebrew)

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה : מֹורַת רוּחַ אוֹ כַּעַס תּוֹךְ הַבְלָגָה. שְׁלִיטָה עַצְמִית וְהִתְאַפְּקוּת לַמְרוֹת כַּעַס רַב שֶׁמִּתְעוֹרֵר (בַּמָּקוֹר מַשְׁמָע הַשְׁמָעַת קוֹל חִכּוּךְ בַּשִּׁנַּיִם).

("זֹמֵם רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיק וְחֹרֵק עָלָיו שִׁנָּיו"- תְּהִלִּים לז יב, וְכֵן:"וַחֲרוֹק שִׁנִּי הָאַחֲרוֹן עִם קִלְלַת מוֹתִי/ הָרוּחַ הַזּוֹעֵם יִסְעַר"- ח.נ. בְּיָאלִיק/ לֹא הֶרְאַנִי אֱלֹהִים, וְכֵן:"כָּל רֹגֶז וְחָמוֹת וְטוֹרֵחַ/ וּמְרִיבוֹת וַחֲרוּק שֵׁן/ עָבְרוּ חָלְפוּ כְּעוֹבְרֵי אוֹרֵחַ"- נָתָן אַלְתֶּרְמָן/ שִׁיר עֶרֶשׂ)
