SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:30
Entonces comenzarn a decir a los montes: Caed sobre nosotros; y a los collados: Cubridnos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 23:30
Verse 30. Mountains, fall on us] As this refers to the destruction of Jerusalem, and as the same expressions are used, Revelation vi. 16, Dr. Lightfoot conjectures that the whole of that chapter may relate to the same event.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. Then shall they begin to say , etc.] The Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read, then shall ye begin to say; the tribulation being so great, as never was the like since the creation of the world, nor never will be to the end of it; and being so sore pressed with the sword and famine; with the enemy without, and divisions, robberies, and murders within; and their miseries being inexpressible, and intolerable, they will seek to go into the holes of the rocks, and caves of the earth, as is prophesied of them, ( Isaiah 2:19) and as Josephus says, many of them did, when the city was taken; and, like those in ( Hosea 10:8) will say, to the mountains fall on us, and to the hills cover us; will choose rather that the mountains and hills round about Jerusalem, should fall upon them, and they be buried under the ruins of them, than live in such terrible distress, or fall into the hands of their enemies! Compare with this ( Revelation 6:15,16).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26-31 - We have here the blessed Jesus, the Lamb of God, led as a lamb to the slaughter, to the sacrifice. Though many reproached and reviled him yet some pitied him. But the death of Christ was his victory an triumph over his enemies: it was our deliverance, the purchase of eternal life for us. Therefore weep not for him, but let us weep for our own sins, and the sins of our children, which caused his death; an weep for fear of the miseries we shall bring upon ourselves, if we slight his love, and reject his grace. If God delivered him up to suc sufferings as these, because he was made a sacrifice for sin, what wil he do with sinners themselves, who make themselves a dry tree, corrupt and wicked generation, and good for nothing! The bitte sufferings of our Lord Jesus should make us stand in awe of the justic of God. The best saints, compared with Christ, are dry trees; if he suffer, why may not they expect to suffer? And what then shall the damnation of sinners be! Even the sufferings of Christ preach terror to obstinate transgressors.
