Judges 9:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ And the olive tree replied,
    ‘Should I stop producing my oil,
        which by me gods and men are honored,
        to go sway over the trees?’
¹⁰ Then the trees said to the fig tree,
    ‘You, come rule over us.’
¹¹ But the fig tree said to them,
    ‘Should I stop producing my sweetness,
        and my good crop,
        to go sway over the trees?’
