Juízes 9:14 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:14

Then said all the trees unto the bramble

Juízes 9:14 In-Context

12 Disseram então as árvores � videira: Vem tu, e reina sobre nós.
13 Mas a videira lhes respondeu: Deixaria eu o meu mosto, que alegra a Deus e aos homens, para ir balouçar sobre as árvores?
14 Então todas as árvores disseram ao espinheiro: Vem tu, e reina sobre nós.
15 O espinheiro, porém, respondeu �s árvores: Se de boa fé me ungis por vosso rei, vinde refugiar-vos debaixo da minha sombra; mas, se não, saia fogo do espinheiro, e devore os cedros do Líbano.
16 Agora, pois, se de boa fé e com retidão procedestes, constituindo rei a Abimeleque, e se bem fizestes para com Jerubaal e para com a sua casa, e se com ele usastes conforme o merecimento das suas mãos
