28 Jésus se tourna vers elles, et dit: Filles de Jérusalem, ne pleurez pas sur moi; mais pleurez sur vous et sur vos enfants.

29 Car voici, des jours viendront où l’on dira: Heureuses les stériles, heureuses les entrailles qui n’ont point enfanté, et les mamelles qui n’ont point allaité!

30 Alors ils se mettront à dire aux montagnes:Tombez sur nous! Et aux collines: Couvrez-nous!
