11 But the fig-tree said to them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
12 Then said the trees to the vine, Come thou, [and] reign over us.
13 And the vine said to them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
14 Then said all the trees to the bramble, Come thou, [and] reign over us.
15 And the bramble said to the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, [then] come [and] put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
