Judges 9:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ But the fig tree responded,
‘Should I stop producing my good, sweet fruit
in order to rule the trees?’
¹² Then the trees said to the grapevine,
‘You come and be our king!’
¹³ But the grapevine responded,
‘Should I stop producing my wine,
which makes gods and humans happy,
in order to rule the trees?’
