A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 13 is found in chapter 9 of Judges. Jotham speaks from Mount Gerizim through the parable of the trees. The useful trees refuse to rule, while the thornbush accepts power and threatens to destroy the others. The parable criticizes Abimelech’s desire for rule without turning it into an abstract theory of leadership: its application is specifically directed toward the alliance between Abimelech and Shechem. Jotham also announces that the violent pact between them will eventually destroy both sides.
