34 ^qO Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ^rkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a ^shen gathers her brood under her wings, and ^tyou were not willing! 35 Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ^u‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

28 But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but ⁿweep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ^o‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 Then they will begin to ^psay to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For if they do these things when the wood is ^qgreen, what will happen when it is dry?”
