Usage: The term מִרְמָס is used in the context of being trampled or treated with contempt. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe situations where something or someone is brought low or humiliated.

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.
