9 But the olive tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, by which God and man are honored, and go to wave over the trees?
10 Then the trees said to the fig tree, You come and reign over us.
11 But the fig tree said to them, Should I leave my sweetness and my good fruit and go to wave over the trees?
12 Then the trees said to the vine (grapevine), You come and reign over us.
13 And the vine (grapevine) replied, Should I leave my new wine, which rejoices God and man, and go to wave over the trees?
14 Then all the trees said to the bramble, You come and reign over us.
15 And the bramble said to the trees, If in good faith you are anointing me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, let fire come out of the bramble and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
