you will crush down
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel (intensive), imperfect, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem conveys an intensive action of crushing or breaking, and the imperfect 2nd masculine plural form indicates "you (masc. pl.) will" perform this act. "Crush down" preserves the root sense of forceful pressure resulting in breaking or humiliation. |
