while our true son of ''eli '' father our creator was carrying our cross he turned to answer dauhgters of jerusalem who kept beating themselve in grief and bewailing him and said: stop weeping for me.on the contrary,weep for yourselves and for your children; because,look! days are coming in which people will say happy are the barren women an the wombs that did not give birth and the breasts that did not nurse!' then they will start to say to the mountains ' fall over us and to the hills, cover us over because if they do these things when the tree is moist, what will occur when it is withered? .

I think what is meant here is thay the day would come when women will be glad they don't have children because of the wars. These women will not have the burden of burying their young. One less pain for them to bare.

it could also be about how in the last days when it said a showing of the times would be children turning on and disrespecting their own parents. Lucky are the parents who don't have to endure the pain of having the one they gave life to threaten them or disrespect them or any of the horrible things children do to their parents these days.
