Judges 9:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 But the fig tree replied, ‘Should I stop giving my sweetness and my good fruit, to hold sway over the trees?’

12 Then the trees said to the grapevine, ‘Come and reign over us.’

13 But the grapevine replied, ‘Should I stop giving my wine that cheers both God and man, to hold sway over the trees?’

14 Finally all the trees said to the thornbush, ‘Come and reign over us.’
