A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory.

The crushed stem will not be broken by him; and the feebly burning light will he not put out, till he has made righteousness overcome all.

Καλαμον συντετριμμενον δεν θελει θλασει και λιναριον καπνιζον δεν θελει σβεσει, εωσου εκφερη εις νικην την κρισιν·

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
