7 And they told it unto Jotham, who went, & stood on the top of mount Gerizim, & lift up his voice & cried, & said unto them: Hearken unto me ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you. 8 The trees went forth to anoint a king over them, and said unto the olive tree, reign thou over us. 9 But the olive tree said unto them, should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God & man, & go to advance me above the trees. 10 Then the trees said unto the fig tree, come thou and reign ⟨p. 159⟩over us. 11 But the fig tree answered them: Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to advance me above the trees? 12 Then said the trees unto the vine: Come thou and be king over us. 13 But the vine said unto them: Should I leave my wine, which maketh merry both god and man, and go to advance me above the trees? 14 Then said all the trees unto the bramble: Come thou and reign over us. 15 And the bramble said unto the trees: If ye will anoint me king over you, come, and put your trust under my shadow: and if not, let the fire come out of the bramble, and consume the Cedars of Lebanon. 16 Now therefore if ye have done truly and uncorruptly, to make Abimelech king: and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal, and with his house: if moreover ye have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands: 17 (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life, to deliver you out of the hands of Midian. 18 And ye are risen up against my fathers house this day, and have slain his children .70. persons upon one stone: and have made Abimelech the son of his maid servant, king over the men of Shechem: because he is your brother.) 19 If ye, I say have dealt truly and uncorruptly with Jerubbaal & his house this day, rejoice ye with Abimelech, & let him rejoice with you. 20 But if not, let a fire come out from Abimelech, and consume the men of Shechem, & the house of Millo. Also let a fire come forth from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo & destroy Abimelech. 21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer and dwelt there from the face of Abimelech his brother.
