¹³ ‘But the vine answered, “Should I give up my wine, which cheers both gods and humans, to hold sway over the trees?”

¹⁴ ‘Finally all the trees said to the thorn-bush, “Come and be our king.”

¹⁵ ‘The thorn-bush said to the trees, “If you really want to anoint me king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, then let fire come out of the thorn-bush and consume the cedars of Lebanon!”
