'Flax' in the Bible

And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of net-works.

A bruised reed he breaketh not, And dim flax he quencheth not, To truth he bringeth forth judgment.

Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: 'Together they lie down -- they rise not, They have been extinguished, As flax they have been quenched.'
