27A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
28But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’
30At that time
‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
— Luke 23:27-30
