¹¹  And it responded to them, 'How could I abandon my sweetness, and my very sweet fruits, and depart to be promoted among the other trees?'

¹²  And the trees said to the vine, 'Come and reign over us.'

¹³  And it responded to them, 'How could I abandon my wine, which gives joy to God and men, and be promoted among the other trees?'

¹⁴  And all the trees said to the bramble, 'Come and reign over us.'
