Matthew 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory. Though He walk in the way where bruised reeds lie, He will step over them, and not break them more; He will not tread upon a little smoking flax that lies languishing upon the ground, and so put it out with His foot, though it hurts the eyes with its smoke, and offends the nostrils with its stench. (Maldonatus.) Parallel Verses KJV: A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.WEB: He won't break a bruised reed. He won't quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory. |
