A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.

He will not let a crushed stem be quite broken, and he will not let a feebly burning light be put out: he will go on sending out the true word to the peoples.

Καλαμον συντεθλασμενον δεν θελει συντριψει και λιναριον καπνιζον δεν θελει σβυσει· θελει εκφερει κρισιν εν αληθεια.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
