Judges 9:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ The trees went forth to anoint a king over them, and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.

⁹ But the olive tree replied, Should I leave my fatness, which because of me, God and man are honoured, to go and sway over the trees?

¹⁰ And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou and reign over us.
