No. The "weeping and gnashing of teeth" Jesus speaks of doesn't occur in heaven. This reaction is applied to various people or groups of people depending on the particular teaching.

In Matthew 18:2, it is applied to unbelieving Jews (the "children of the kingdom" who find themselves "cast out into outer darkness").

In Matthew 13:42, it is said of "those who practice lawlessness."

In Matthew 13:50, it is said of "the wicked."

In Matthew 22:13 (where it appears in the context of a parable), it is said of a man who seeks to enter a wedding feast without a proper garment. The application is to those who follow false teaching, thinking it will allow them entrance into heaven.

In Matthew 24:51, it is said of an "evil servant."

Matthew 25:30 has a similar application, where it is said of an "unprofitable servant."

The final NT appearance of the phrase is Luke 13:28, again in the context of a parable, where Jesus applies it to those who seek to enter the "Master's house" and are turned away, because the Master doesn't know them. The application here is to those who anticipate salvation, but discover that it is denied them. Despite their insistence that they "ate and drank in Your [Jesus'] presence, and You taught in our streets," Jesus calls them "workers of iniquity;" in other words, adherents of a corruption of true Christianity.

In every instance, the "weeping and gnashing of teeth" is done by those who discover that they will be denied the eternal reward.

Where does it mention in bible about moaning and groaning when dying?

The Bible speaks of the Israelites "groaning" in their affliction in Egypt, from which the Eternal delivered them: "...God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham..." (Ex.2:24) -- but "moaning and groaning when dying" isn't mentioned as such.As Jesus approached Lazarus' grave to resurrecthim... we are told: "...Jesus therefore again groaning in Himself cometh to the grave..." (John 11:38).This inward "groaning" of Christ is one denoting "disappointment in the lack of faith of those around Him," rather than for His grief over Lazarus' death."...Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?" (verse 40)Perhaps this question speaks to the "weeping and gnashing of teeth" of those in the coming "Judgment Day," fearing for their lives and the prospect of being cast into the Lake of Fire."The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matt.24:51)"...cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matt.25:30)"There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out." (Luke 13:28)That's certainly a type of "moaning and groaning" over the "fear of dying."The Bible also prophesys, as the time of Jesus' return draws near [Rev.19], of the coming destruction of man's rule on earth... of the abominable, satanic global governmental structure and system it calls "Babylon the Great." [see Rev.18]In the description of its economic ruin, we are told: "...the merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing..." (Rev.18:15).Of this coming destruction, we are told to: "...Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her." (verse 20)

Where is rich get richer poor get poorer originally from?

Perhaps it is from the Parable of the Talents, found in the Christian Bible, In summation: " 'Take the talent from him (who has only one talent) and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
