Judges 9:8-15

8The treesH6086 wentH1980 forthH1980 on a time to anointH4886 a kingH4428 over them; and they saidH559 unto the oliveH2132 treeH6086, ReignH4427 thou over usH5921.

9But the oliveH2132 treeH6086 saidH559 unto them, Should I leaveH1980 my fatnessH1880, wherewith by meH5921 they honour GodH430 and manH376, and goH1980 to waveH5128 to and froH5128 over the treesH6086?

10And the treesH6086 saidH559 to the figH8384 treeH6086, Come thou, and reignH4427 over usH5921.

11But the figH8384 treeH6086 saidH559 unto them, Should I leaveH1980 my sweetnessH4987, and my goodH2896 fruitH8570, and goH1980 to waveH5128 to and froH5128 over the treesH6086?

12And the treesH6086 saidH559 unto the vineH1612, Come thou, and reignH4427 over usH5921.

13And the vineH1612 saidH559 unto them, Should I leaveH1980 my wineH8492, whichH6086 cheereth GodH430 and manH376, and goH1980 to waveH5128 to and froH5128 over the treesH6086?

14Then saidH559 allH3605 the treesH6086 unto the brambleH329, Come thou, and reignH4427 over usH413.

15And the brambleH329 saidH559 unto the treesH6086, IfH518 in truthH571 ye anointH4886 meH413 kingH4428 over youH859, then comeH935 and putH935 your trust in my shadowH6738: and ifH518 notH369, let fireH784 comeH935 outH3318 of the brambleH329, and devourH398 the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844.
