To trample, tread down, wallow; of warriors trampling enemies, of intensive destruction, of wallowing in blood, or of being trampled upon.
A verb of forceful physical action whose core image is the foot treading upon a defeated foe. In the Qal stem, it describes warriors trampling enemies underfoot — the LORD himself treads down Assyria (Isa 14:25) and treads the peoples in his anger (Isa 63:6), while the psalmist declares 'through you we push down our foes' (Ps 44:5). The Poel intensifies this to thorough devastation: enemies have 'trampled down' the LORD's sanctuary (Isa 63:18) and his pleasant vineyard (Jer 12:10). A strikingly different Hitpael reflexive appears in Ezekiel 16:6 and 22, where infant Jerusalem is found 'wallowing' in her own blood — a vivid image of helpless, flailing movement. The rare Hofal passive in Isaiah 14:19 describes the king of Babylon as a corpse 'trampled' underfoot. Spanish captures the range well: 'pisoteé' for active trampling, 'revolcándote' for wallowing, and 'pisoteado' for the passive state.
1. trample, tread down — Qal: to trample or tread down, expressing decisive military victory or domination. The LORD tramples Assyria on his mountains (Isa 14:25) and treads peoples in his fury (Isa 63:6); the psalmist trusts God to help 'trample our adversaries' (Ps 44:5; 60:12; 108:13). In Proverbs 27:7, the sated soul 'tramples' even honeycomb, extending the image to contemptuous rejection. Spanish 'pisoteé' and 'pisotea' preserve the visceral foot-on-enemy imagery. 7×

2. wallow — Hitpael reflexive: to wallow, to roll oneself about, specifically in blood. Found in Ezekiel 16:6 and 16:22, where God addresses infant Jerusalem as a foundling 'wallowing in your blood' — an image of helpless, convulsive movement. This sense departs entirely from the hostile trampling meaning, focusing instead on the reflexive flailing of a newborn. Spanish 'revolcándote' captures the writhing, self-directed quality of the action. 2×

3. trample down (intensive) — Poel intensive: to trample down thoroughly, emphasizing the completeness and severity of devastation. In Jeremiah 12:10, many shepherds have 'trampled down' God's vineyard; in Isaiah 63:18, adversaries have 'trodden down' the sanctuary. The intensive stem signals that this is not a single act but sustained, ruinous destruction. Spanish 'han pisoteado' and 'pisotearon' both convey the thoroughness of the desecration. 2×

4. be trampled — Hofal passive: to be trampled upon, the passive counterpart of the active treading. Attested once in Isaiah 14:19, where the fallen king of Babylon is likened to a corpse 'trampled' underfoot — cast from his grave like a loathsome branch, trodden by the slain. Spanish 'pisoteado' directly renders this passive state of utter degradation. 1×
