A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory.
Matthew 12:20
Living Bible (TLB)
20 He does not crush the weak,
Or quench the smallest hope;He will end all conflict with his final victory
Or quench the smallest hope;He will end all conflict with his final victory
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
What a great promise we have in these Gospel passages. The New Living Translation has it this way:
He will not crush those who are weak or quench the
smallest hope. He will bring full justice to all who havebeen wronged.
Isaiah 42:3
Living Bible (TLB)
He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the dimly burning flame. He will encourage the fainthearted, those tempted to despair. He will see full justice given to all who have been wronged.
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
3 The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
Matthew 12:20
New Living Translation (NLT)
20 He will not crush the weakest reed
or put out a flickering candle.
Finally he will cause justice to be victorious.
or put out a flickering candle.
Finally he will cause justice to be victorious.
2 Corinthians 7:1
Living Bible (TLB)
7 Having such great promises as these, dear friends, let us turn away from everything wrong, whether of body or spirit, and purify ourselves, living in the wholesome fear of God, giving ourselves to him alone.
