3 A bruised reed he will not break,

and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.

In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

3 A bruised reed shall he not break,

And the smoking flax shall he not quench:

He shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

3 He will not crush the weakest reed

or put out a flickering candle.

He will bring justice to all who have been wronged.

3 A bruised reed He will not break,

And smoking flax He will not quench;

He will bring forth justice for truth.

3 He will not break a crushed blade of grass

or put out even a weak flame.

He will truly bring justice;

3 A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.

3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment according to truth.

3 He will not break off a damaged cattail. 

He will not even put out a smoking wick. 

He will faithfully bring about justice. 

3 He will not break a bruised reed,

and He will not put out a smoldering wick;

He will faithfully bring justice.

3 a bruised reed he will not break,

and a dimly burning wick he will not quench;

he will faithfully bring forth justice.

3 He will not break a broken reed,

and he will not extinguish a dim wick.

He will bring justice forth in faithfulness.

3 He will not break a bent twig.

He will not put out a dimly burning flame.

He will be faithful and make everything right.

3 “A bruised reed He will not break

And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish;

He will faithfully bring forth justice.
