A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth justice unto truth.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 42:3 Go To Isaiah 42
Jerome
AD 420
For after the coming of the Lord and Savior, who gave the spirit of the gospel interpretation, [Christ] rested in the death of the Jewish letter, with which all works are bruised. Christ did not snuff out the smoking wick, reducing it to ashes. Instead, he ignited a great flame from this little spark, a spark that had almost gone out. The result is that the whole earth was ablaze with the fire of the Lord and Savior.
