"A bruised reed He will not breakI have to admit, these statements seem kind of contradictory to me. The final one says God will bring justice, which would mean condemnation of all things wrong, regardless of severity. But then it says that things that are somewhat wrong, not doing as intended, He will not condemn.
And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish;
He will faithfully bring forth justice.
Maybe this bothers me because I recognize I am one of those bruised reeds or dim wicks. I deserve to be destroyed, but He isn't doing it, and that makes me feel it's wrong. Even though it's sparing me to improve, I find I either don't want to, or don't know how. So why doesn't He get it over with?
