Judges 9:13-15

Tree of Life Version

¹³ But the vine said to them, ‘Should I stop yielding my new wine, which cheers God and man, and go wave over the trees?’ ¹⁴ Then all the trees said to the bramble, ‘You come and reign over us.’ ¹⁵ And the bramble said to the trees, ‘If you truly are going to anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shadow; but if not, let fire come out of the bramble and devour the cedars of Lebanon.’
