Judges 9:13

And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheers God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
All Commentaries on Judges 9:13 Go To Judges 9

Richard Challoner

AD 1781
Cheereth God and men: Wine is here represented as agreeable to God, because he had appointed it to be offered up with his sacrifices. But we are not obliged to take these words, spoken by the trees, in Joatham's parable, according to the strict literal sense: but only in a sense accomodated to the design of the parable expressed in the conclusion of it.
