Exegesis
The introductory le’emor {לֵאמֹר | lē·’ēmôr} frames both the initial and embedded speeches, creating a layered parable.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:18
And Joash , king of Israel, sent word to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, “In Lebanon a thistle spoke to a cedar in Lebanon, ‘Give your daughter to my son as a wife.’ But a wild animal of the field in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.”
