Matthew 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory. The sun is not able to dry up a drop of sea-water that lies in the midst of the sand, which the sea every minute rolls upon and preserves; neither can the flesh the least grace, while the fulness of Christ flows out upon it to supply it. (S. Charnock.) 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. |
