'Down' in the Bible

Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, I am going to save My people from the east country and from the west,

“They will be like mighty menTrampling down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle;And they will fight because the Lord is with them,And the [enemies’] riders on horses will be shamed.

“And they will pass through the sea of distress and anxiety [with the Lord leading His people, as at the Red Sea]And He will strike the waves in the sea,So that all the depths of the Nile will dry up;And the pride of Assyria will be brought downAnd the scepter [of the taskmasters] of Egypt will pass away.

“And I will strengthen Israel in the Lord,And they will walk [and glory] in His name,” declares the Lord.
