The reed was used by shepherds to fashion a small musical instrument. Once cracked or worn, it was useless. A worn out wick was also useless for giving light. This represents people who are categorized as useless by the world. Christ's work was to restore and rekindle such people not to break them or quench them this speaks of His tender compassion toward the lowliest of the lost. He came not to gather the strong but to show mercy to the weak
He will not quarrel nor cry out,
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench,
Till He sends forth justice to victory.
