Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

²⁹ For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the paps that have not given suck.
