Matthew 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory. As the sickly, faint child, hardly able to go, and not the strong one, is the object of the father's pity, the weaker thy faith, which lies mixed with a world of strong corruptions, the more will Christ be affected with thy case, and pity that grace of His own which suffers under them. (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. |
