# General Information:
Yahweh continues speaking.
# A crushed reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench
Yahweh speaks of weak and helpless people as if they were crushed reeds and dimly burning wicks. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# crushed reed
A reed is the long, thin stem of a plant like tall grass. If it is crushed, it cannot carry any weight. See how you translated this in [Isaiah 36:6](../36/06.md).
# he will not break
"My servant will not break"
