Judges 9:9-11

New Living Translation

⁹ But the olive tree refused, saying,
‘Should I quit producing the olive oil
    that blesses both God and people,
    just to wave back and forth over the trees?’

¹⁰ “Then they said to the fig tree,
    ‘You be our king!’
¹¹ But the fig tree also refused, saying,
‘Should I quit producing my sweet fruit
    just to wave back and forth over the trees?’
