And the bramble said to the trees, If in truth you anoint me to reign over you, come, stand under my shadow; and if not, let fire come out from me and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shecem dealt treacherously with the house of Abimelech;

So God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did against his father, in slaying his seventy brothers.

And all the wickedness of the men of Shechem God repaid upon their heads; and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came upon them.

And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the camp against his neighbor.

And when they began the praise and thanksgiving, the Lord caused the children of Ammon to fight against Moab, and [the inhabitants of] Mount Seir that came out against Judah; and they were defeated.

Then the children of Ammon and Moab rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to destroy and consume them. And when they had made an end of [destroying] the inhabitants of Seir, they rose up against one another so that they were utterly destroyed.

You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of Your presence; the Lord shall trouble them in His anger, and fire shall devour them.

You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

Therefore may God destroy you forever, may He pluck you up and utterly remove you from [your] dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. Pause.

What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and You shall cast them down in afflictions; they shall not bear up [under them].
