Judges 9:11

Contemporary English Version

¹¹But the fig tree replied,
“I won't stop growing
my delicious fruit,
just so my branches can wave
above the other trees.”

¹¹“But the fig tree also refused. ‘Should I quit producing sweetness and fruit just to lift my head above all the other trees?’ it asked.

¹¹“But the fig tree answered, ‘Should I stop making my good, sweet fruit just to go and sway over the other trees?’

¹¹But the fig tree also refused, saying,
‘Should I quit producing my sweet fruit
just to wave back and forth over the trees?’
