Luke 23:30

Compare all

28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29 ^aFor indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’

30 Then they will begin ^a‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’

31 ^aFor if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”

32 ^aThere were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.

Luke 23:30

Mountains, fall on us - As this refers to the destruction of Jerusalem, and as the same expressions are used, Revelation 6:16, Dr. Lightfoot conjectures that the whole of that chapter may relate to the same event.
