'Down' in the Bible

Though [impoverished] Edom says, “We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins.” Thus says the Lord of hosts, “They may build, but I will tear down; and men will call them the Wicked Territory, the people against whom the Lord is indignant forever.”

You will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” says the Lord of hosts.
