20 A bruised reed he will not break,

and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,

till he has brought justice through to victory.

21 In his name the nations will put their hope.”

20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. 21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

20 He will not crush the weakest reed

or put out a flickering candle.

Finally he will cause justice to be victorious.

21 And his name will be the hope

of all the world.”

20 A bruised reed He will not break,

And smoking flax He will not quench,

Till He sends forth justice to victory;

21 And in His name Gentiles will trust.”

20 He will not break a crushed blade of grass

or put out even a weak flame

until he makes justice win the victory.

21 In him will the non-Jewish people find hope.”

20 A bruised reed shall he not break,

And smoking flax shall he not quench,

Till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.

20 a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he bring forth judgment unto victory; 21 and on his name shall the nations hope.

20 He will not break off a damaged cattail. 

He will not even put out a smoking wick 

until he has made justice victorious. 

21 The nations will have hope because of him.” 

20 He will not break a bruised reed,

and He will not put out a smoldering wick,

until He has led justice to victory.

21 The nations will put their hope in His name.

20 He will not break a bruised reed

or quench a smoldering wick

until he brings justice to victory.

21 And in his name the Gentiles will hope.”

20 A crushed reed he will not break,

and a smoldering wick he will not extinguish,

until he brings justice to victory.

21 And in his name the Gentiles will hope.

20 He will not break a bent twig.

He will not put out a dimly burning flame.

He will make everything right.

21 The nations will put their hope in him.”

20 “A battered reed He will not break off,

And a smoldering wick He will not put out,

Until He leads justice to victory.

21 “And in His name the Gentiles will hope.”
