Fourthly, Gnashing of teeth is an argument of extreme wrath and anger (Acts 7.54.) where it is said of Stephen's at once Auditors and Enemies, When they heard those things, they were cut to the heart (Peters Auditors, Acts 2. were pricked at the heart with godly sorrow, Stevens Auditors were cut to the heart with ungodly anger) and they gnashed upon him with their teeth. The gnashing of teeth here spoken of is the concomitant of supposed wrath, He teareth me in his wrath, and gnasheth upon me with his teeth.

Yet further: ⟨p. 266⟩Mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
This notes the fierceness of an enemy: Wilde Beasts when they fight, whet their eyes as well as their teeth; and a man that is extremely enraged, looks upon his opposite as if he would look through him: Thus Job represents the Lord in all the postures of an enemy, He sharpeneth his eyes against me.
