11 Mais le figuier leur répondit: Renoncerais-je à ma douceur et à mon excellent fruit, pour aller planer sur les arbres?

12 Et les arbres dirent à la vigne: Viens, toi, règne sur nous.

13 Mais la vigne leur répondit: Renoncerais-je à mon vin, qui réjouit Dieu et les hommes, pour aller planer sur les arbres?

14 Alors tous les arbres dirent au buisson d’épines: Viens, toi, règne sur nous.

15 Et le buisson d’épines répondit aux arbres: Si c’est de bonne foi que vous voulez m’oindre pour votre roi, venez, réfugiez-vous sous mon ombrage; sinon, un feu sortira du buisson d’épines, et dévorera les cèdres du Liban.
