Luke 23:28-30

The Voice

Jesus (to the people in the crowd): ²⁸ Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me. Weep instead for yourselves and weep for your children. ²⁹ Days are coming when people will say, “Blessed are the infertile; blessed are the wombs that never bore a child; blessed are the breasts that never nursed an infant.” ³⁰ People will beg the mountains, “Surround us!” They’ll plead with the hills, “Cover us!”^[a]
