And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Y la vid les respondió: '¿Acaso voy a dejar mi vino, que alegra tanto a Dios como a los hombres, para ir a reinar sobre los árboles?'
La vid rechazó el poder porque valoraba más su propósito de dar alegría que buscar autoridad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Judges, chapter 9, Jotham tells a parable to the people of Shechem after his half-brother Abimelech has killed their other brothers and seized power through violence and manipulation. In this parable, various trees are asked to become king, but the vine refuses, explaining that its purpose of producing wine, which brings joy to God and humanity, is more valuable than ruling. This story reflects the ancient Israelite culture's emphasis on agriculture and warns against self-serving leadership that disrupts God's intended order.
