Judges 9:15-17
International Standard Version
15 Then the bramble bush replied to the trees,
‘If you really are consecrating[a] me to rule you,
come and put your confidence in my shade;
but if not, may fire spring out from the bramble bush
and burn up the cedars[b] of Lebanon…’
16 “Now then, if you have been acting in good faith and integrity by making a king out of Abimelech, if you have treated Jerubbaal and his household appropriately by acting toward him as he deserved[c]— 17 because my father fought on your behalf, throwing away all concern for his own life, and delivered you from Midian’s domination.
