Judges 9:8-12

Once the trees went to anoint a king over them, and they said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us!’

But the olive tree said to them, ‘Shall I give up my fatness with which God and mankind are honored, and go to wave over the trees?’

Then the trees said to the fig tree, ‘You, come, reign over us!’

But the fig tree said to them, ‘Shall I give up my sweetness and my good fruit, and go to wave over the trees?’

Then the trees said to the vine, ‘You, come, reign over us!’
