The Daughters of Jerusalem

²⁷A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him.

²⁸Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹For the time will come when you will say, 'Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' ³⁰Then "'they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!"' ³¹For if men do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"
Luke 23:27-31
