Not he will cry out and not he will lift up and not he will make heard in the street voice his.
3 Rutsanga rwakapwanyika haangaruvhuni, uye nomwenje unopfungaira haazoudzimi. Mukutendeka, achavigira vanhu kururamisira;
A reed crushed not he will break and a wick dim not he will extinguish it to faithfulness he will bring forth justice.
4 haangakoniwi uye haangaperi simba kusvikira asimbisa kururamisirwa panyika. Zviwi zvichaisa tariro yazvo mumurayiro wake.”
Not he will grow dim and not he will be crushed until he will establish on the earth justice and for instruction his islands they will wait.
