This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
20. ἕως ἂν ἐκβάλῃ εἰς νῖκος τὴν κρίσιν, i.e. ‘until he makes his judgment triumph—until he brings it to victory.’ ἐκβάλλειν denotes the impulse of enthusiasm. See ch. Mat 9:38.

For εἰς νῖκος the lit. rendering of the Hebr. is ‘to truth.’ Maldonatus suggests as an explanation of the discrepancy, a corruption in the Chaldæan text. But, on the other hand, εἰς νῖκος expresses the general sense of the omitted words.
