“And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?”
And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, to go to be promoted over the trees? — The vine's refusal is most eloquent. Its wine 'cheers God and man' (וְשָׂמַח אֱלוֹהִים וְאָדָם, v'samach Elohim v'Adam, gladdens deity and humanity). The vine's refusal is also a refusal of separation from community blessing.
