And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

And the thorn said to the trees, If it is truly your desire to make me your king, then come and put your faith in my shade; and if not, may fire come out of the thorn, burning up the cedars of Lebanon.

Και ειπεν η ακανθα προς τα δενδρα, Εαν αληθως σεις με χριητε βασιλεα υμων, ελθετε, καταφυγετε υπο την σκιαν μου· ει δε μη, πυρ να εξελθη εκ της ακανθης και να καταφαγη τας κεδρους του Λιβανου.

And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
