Isaiah 42:3
Douay-Rheims
The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
Rashi
A breaking reed he shall not break Jonathan paraphrases: The meek, who are like a breaking reed, shall not break, and the poor, who are like a flickering candle, shall not be quenched. and a flickering flaxen wick A wet flaxen wick, that is nearly extinguished. Their king will not rob the poor and will not break the poor and the weak.
