But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Pero la higuera les respondió: '¿Acaso debo abandonar mi dulzura y mi buen fruto solo para ir a reinar sobre los árboles?'
La higuera se negó a dejar su propósito fructífero para buscar poder sobre otros.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Judges, this verse is part of a parable told by Jotham, the son of Gideon, to the people of Shechem after his half-brother Abimelech had killed most of their brothers and seized power as king. Jotham used the story of trees searching for a ruler to warn against choosing an unworthy leader, highlighting how productive elements like the fig tree prioritize their natural roles over empty ambition. The parable reflects the chaotic period of the judges in Israel, where leadership often led to division and conflict.
