To crush, pulverize, or break into very small pieces, often to the point of becoming dust or powder. Used both in physical contexts (such as grinding or pounding materials) and metaphorically (for humiliation or utter defeat). The term can describe literal actions performed on materials, such as metals, stones, or grains, as well as figurative actions—especially God's judgment resulting in total destruction or reduction to insignificance.
