Jeschijahu 42:3 Kommentar: Rashi & Ibn Ezra

קָנֶ֤ה רָצוּץ֙ לֹ֣א יִשְׁבּ֔וֹר וּפִשְׁתָּ֥ה כֵהָ֖ה לֹ֣א יְכַבֶּ֑נָּה לֶאֱמֶ֖ת יוֹצִ֥יא מִשְׁפָּֽט׃

Geknicktes Rohr zerbricht er nicht und dunkelnden Docht löscht er nicht aus; nach Wahrheit verkündet er das Recht.

Rashi on Isaiah

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.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

A bruised reed. This is a prolepsis, like And stripped the naked of their clothing (Job 22:6). He will not break a reed, is figuratively said for he will not act by violence.

Rashi on Isaiah

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.
