Context: מִרְמָס (mirmas) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to depict the act or state of being trampled upon. This term is often used metaphorically to describe the abasement or humiliation of a person, city, or nation. In the prophetic literature, it is frequently associated with divine judgment, where the enemies of God or the unfaithful are subjected to being trodden down as a form of punishment. For example, in Isaiah 5:5, the vineyard, representing Israel, is threatened with becoming a מִרְמָס, illustrating the consequences of unfaithfulness to God. The imagery of trampling conveys a powerful message of defeat and subjugation, emphasizing the severity of divine retribution.
