Judges 9:8-15

8The treesH6086 went forthH1980 on a time to anointH4886 a kingH4428 over them; and they saidH559 unto the olive treeH2132, ReignH4427 thou over us.

9But the olive treeH2132 saidH559 unto them, Should I leaveH2308 my fatnessH1880, wherewith by me they honourH3513 GodH430 and manH582, and goH1980 to be promotedH5128 over the treesH6086?1

10And the treesH6086 saidH559 to the fig treeH8384, ComeH3212 thou, and reignH4427 over us.

11But the fig treeH8384 saidH559 unto them, Should I forsakeH2308 my sweetnessH4987, and my goodH2896 fruitH8570, and goH1980 to be promotedH5128 over the treesH6086?

12Then saidH559 the treesH6086 unto the vineH1612, ComeH3212 thou, and reignH4427 over us.

13And the vineH1612 saidH559 unto them, Should I leaveH2308 my wineH8492, which cheerethH8055 GodH430 and manH582, and goH1980 to be promotedH5128 over the treesH6086?

14Then saidH559 all the treesH6086 unto the brambleH329, ComeH3212 thou, and reignH4427 over us.2

15And the brambleH329 saidH559 unto the treesH6086, If in truthH571 ye anointH4886 me kingH4428 over you, then comeH935 and put your trustH2620 in my shadowH6738: and if not, let fireH784 come outH3318 of the brambleH329, and devourH398 the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844.
