Matthew 12:20
_ _ A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory — “unto truth,” says the Hebrew original, and the Septuagint also. But our Evangelist merely seizes the spirit, instead of the letter of the prediction in this point. The grandeur and completeness of Messiah’s victories would prove, it seems, not more wonderful than the unobtrusive noiselessness with which they were to be achieved. And whereas one rough touch will break a bruised reed, and quench the flickering, smoking flax, His it should be, with matchless tenderness, love, and skill, to lift up the meek, to strengthen the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees, to comfort all that mourn, to say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. |
Matthew 12:20
A bruised reed — A convinced sinner: one that is bruised with the weight of sin: smoking flax — One that has the least good desire, the faintest spark of grace: till he send forth judgment unto victory — That is, till he make righteousness completely victorious over all its enemies. |
Matthew 12:20
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he (d) send forth judgment unto victory.
(d) He will pronounce sentence and judgment, in spite of the world and Satan, and show himself conqueror over all his enemies. |
