JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And they will announce to Jotham and he will go and stand upon the head of mount Gerizim, and he will lift up his voice and call, and say to them, Hear to me, ye lords of Shechem, and God will hear to you. ⁸ The trees going forth went to anoint over them a king; and they will say to the olive, Reign thou over us. ⁹ And the olive will say to them, Left I my fatness which by me they will honor God and men, and went I to wander about over the trees? ¹⁰ And the trees will say to the fig tree, Come thou, reign over us. ¹¹ And the fig tree will say to them, Left I my sweetness, and my good produce, and went I to wander about over the trees? ¹² And the trees will say to the vine, Come thou, and reign over us. ¹³ And the vine will say to them, Left I my new wine-making, rejoicing God and men, and went I to wander about over the trees? ¹⁴ And all the trees will say to the buckthorn. Come thou, reign over us. ¹⁵ And the buckthorn will say to the trees, If in truth ye anoint me for king over you, come, take refuge in my shadow: and if not, fire shall come forth from the buckthorn and shall consume the cedars of Lebanon.
