27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were (A)mourning and lamenting for him. 28 But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, (B)the days are coming when they will say, (C)‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 (D)Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’

Isaiah 32:9-13
English Standard Version
Complacent Women Warned of Disaster
9 (A)Rise up, you women (B)who are at ease, hear my voice;
you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
10 In little more than a year
you will shudder, you complacent women;
for the grape harvest fails,
the fruit harvest will not come.
11 Tremble, you women (C)who are at ease,
shudder, you complacent ones;
(D)strip, and make yourselves bare,
(E)and tie sackcloth around your waist.
12 (F)Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine,
13 (G)for the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
(H)yes, for all the joyous houses
in the exultant city.

(C)that our eyes may run down with tears
and our eyelids flow with water.
