28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

29 For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.

30 And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

31 For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?
