Bramble

“Her towers will be overgrown with thorns, her fortresses with thistles and briers. She will become a haunt for jackals, an abode for ostriches.”

“For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.”

“Finally all the trees said to the thornbush, ‘Come and reign over us.’”

“But the thornbush replied, ‘If you really are anointing me as king over you, come and find refuge in my shade. But if not, may fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of Lebanon.’”
