Matthew 8:12

οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας ἐκβληθήσονται εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.

RBT Translation:

And the Sons of the Kingdom will be cast out into the Outer Dark One, in that place there he will be the Lamenting one and the Biting one of the Teeth.²¹

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth.

LITV Translation:
but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

Strongs 932, βασιλείας queen, kingdom. There is an obvious contrast being made here. The same speaker in the same breath speaking of two completely opposing thoughts — one of Joy and Laughter, and the other Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth. Both thoughts are directed at the word βασιλείας which has the two meanings, Queen, and Kingdom. Commentaries took this for a Hebrew idiom for "the Jews" but this contradicts its meaning in Matt 13 where "sons of the basileia" are called "good seed." See our study, Queen of The Heavenly Ones.
