Juges 9.7

Jotham fut informé de la situation. Il alla se placer sur le sommet du mont Garizim, et voici ce qu'il leur cria à haute voix : « Ecoutez-moi, habitants de Sichem, et que Dieu vous écoute !
When they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, "Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.
Nous lisons dans ce texte qu'il n'y avait aucune raison valable pour qu'un arbre soit déclaré roi, pour dominer sur tous les autres : tous étaient plantés par l'Éternel. Il était de même impossible de trouver un roi pour Israël, car Dieu était en fait son Roi.

Ceux qui font don de leur personne, pour le bien public, et qui obtiennent des résultats positifs, doivent être respectés et honorés par tous, plus que ceux qui ne sont que de simples figurants ! Tous ces « arbres fruitiers » refusent souvent d'être promus au dessus des autres ; or, comme le texte le dit en marge, il y avait des arbres nobles et d'autres qui l'étaient moins. En fait, pour régner, un homme doit à la fois, se donner, tout en exerçant une grande prudence. Ceux qui ont été élus pour leur intégrité et leurs capacités, doivent renoncer à leurs intérêts personnels et à tout avantage, pour le bien des autres. Ceux qui s'avancent pour recevoir l'honneur et la dignité, courent en fait le risque de perdre leur efficacité dans leur travail. Pour quelle raison, ceux qui désirent pratiquer le bien, sont-ils souvent effrayés par l'envergure de la tâche ?

Jotham compare Abimélec à un roncier ou à un chardon, l'un comme l'autre, complètement inutiles et destinés à être brûlés. Ainsi était vraiment cet homme !

      Juges 9

      19 "You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
      20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.

      Proverbes 1

      Esaïe 58

      6 "Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
      7 Isn't it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
      8 Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Yahweh shall be your rear guard.
      9 Then you shall call, and Yahweh will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;
      10 and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the noonday;

      Matthieu 18

      26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!'
      27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
      28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'
      29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!'
      30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
      31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
      32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
      33 Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
      34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.
