Isaiah 42:3 (KJV)

Commentary on Isaiah 42:3

The Servant's gentleness toward the weak is beautifully portrayed: a bruised reed ('qaneh ratsuts') He won't break, smoking flax ('pishtah kehah') He won't quench. These images depict the most fragile—nearly broken reeds and barely burning wicks—treated with utmost care. Yet this gentleness doesn't compromise truth: 'he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.'
