Shofetim 9:11-13

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹¹ But the te’enah said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the etzim (trees)?

¹² Then said the etzim (trees) unto the gefen, Come thou, and reign over us.

¹³ And the gefen said unto them, Should I leave my tirosh, which cheereth Elohim and anashim, and go to be promoted over the etzim?
