Judges 9:8-15
8The treesH6086 wentH1980 forth on a time to anointH4886 a kingH4428 over them; and they saidH559 unto the olive-tree, ReignH4427 thou over us. 9But the olive-tree saidH559 unto them, Should I leave my fatnessH1880, wherewith by me they honorH3513 GodH430 and manH376, and goH1980 to wave to and fro over the treesH6086? 10And the treesH6086 saidH559 to the fig-tree, Come thou, and reignH4427 over us. 11But the fig-tree saidH559 unto them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my goodH2896 fruitH8570, and goH1980 to wave to and fro over the treesH6086? 12And the treesH6086 saidH559 unto the vineH1612, Come thou, and reignH4427 over us. 13And the vineH1612 saidH559 unto them, Should I leave my newH8492 wineH8492, which cheereth GodH430 and manH376, and goH1980 to wave to and fro over the treesH6086? 14Then saidH559 all the treesH6086 unto the bramble, Come thou, and reignH4427 over us. 15And the bramble saidH559 unto the treesH6086, If in truthH571 ye anointH4886 me kingH4428 over you, then comeH935 and takeH2620 refugeH2620 in my shadeH6738; and if not, let fireH784 comeH935 out of the bramble, and devourH398 the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844.
