Jotham’s Parable
7 When they told Jotham, he climbed to the top of Mount Gerizim,(A) raised his voice, and called to them:
Listen to me, citizens of Shechem,
and may God listen to you:
8 The trees decided
to anoint a king over themselves.
They said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us.’
9 But the olive tree said to them,
‘Should I stop giving my oil
that people use to honour both God and men,
and rule[a] over the trees? ’
