Judges 9:10-12

Lexham English Bible

¹⁰ Then the trees said to the fig tree,
    ‘You, come rule over us.’
¹¹ But the fig tree said to them,
    ‘Should I stop producing my sweetness,
        and my good crop,
        to go sway over the trees?’
¹² And the trees said to the vine,
    ‘You, come rule over us.’
