And they will throw them
This phrase indicates an action of judgment and separation. The Greek verb "ballō" (throw) suggests a forceful and deliberate act. In the context of the parable of the weeds, this action is performed by the angels at the end of the age, as described earlier in Matthew 13:41. The imagery of throwing implies a decisive and irreversible act of divine justice, emphasizing the seriousness of rejecting God's kingdom.

into the fiery furnace
The "fiery furnace" is a vivid metaphor for hell or eternal punishment. The Greek word "kaminos" refers to a furnace used for smelting or refining metals, symbolizing intense heat and purification. Historically, furnaces were used for severe punishment, as seen in Daniel 3 with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. This imagery underscores the severity of divine judgment and the reality of eternal separation from God for the unrighteous.

where there will be weeping
"Weeping" (Greek: "klauthmos") conveys deep sorrow and regret. This expression of anguish reflects the emotional and spiritual torment experienced by those who are separated from God's presence. The weeping signifies the realization of lost opportunities for repentance and the eternal consequences of one's choices.

and gnashing of teeth
The phrase "gnashing of teeth" (Greek: "brugmos") indicates extreme anguish and despair. It is often associated with anger and frustration, as seen in Acts 7:54, where the crowd gnashes their teeth at Stephen. In this context, it highlights the intense suffering and remorse of those who face eternal judgment. The combination of weeping and gnashing of teeth paints a picture of profound regret and the irreversible nature of divine justice.

(42) Into a furnace of fire.--Better, the furnace--i.e., that of Gehenna, in which there will be "the wailing and gnashing of teeth." (See Notes on Matthew 8:12.)

Verse 42. - And shall cast them into a (the, Revised Version) furnace of fire: there shall be (the, Revised Version) wailing and gnashing of teeth. Judging by the analogy of ver. 50, even the first clause is not necessarily due to the image of the tares. The furnace of fire was no unknown expression for the punishment of the wicked (cf. also Matthew 8:12, note).
