Judges 9:11-13

Lexham English Bible

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.’
¹³ But the vine said to them,
    ‘Should I stop producing my wine
    that makes the gods and men happy,
        to go sway over the trees?’
