KAI ba-LOU-sin au-TOUS eis tên KA-mi-non tou py-ROS e-KEI ES-tai ho klau-THMOS KAI ho bryg-MOS tôn o-DON-tôn
Exegesis
A new clause follows, with estai {ἔσται | és-tai} ‘will be’ introducing a future existential construction whose compound subject is ho klauthmos kai ho brugmos ton odontōn {ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων | ho klau-thmòs kai ho bryg-mòs tōn o-dóntōn}. The repeated definite article ho before klauthmos and brugmos individualizes and intensifies these responses as specific, anticipated manifestations of suffering, while the genitive tōn odontōn tightly associates the gnashing with the teeth as a physical expression of extreme distress. In translation, the formal rendering preserves the structural sequence of casting, place, and resultant experience, while the dynamic version slightly expands with “blazing” and “in that place” to make explicit the fiery nature and spatial reference already implied in the Greek syntax.
