[19] And there followed him much people, and women which were lamenting and [20] raving. But Jesus turned unto them and said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not [21] for me: weep for yourselves, and for your children. Days are coming, when they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that bare not, and the breasts [22] that gave not suck.[Luke 23:30] Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and [23] to the hills, Cover us. For if they do so in the green tree, what shall be in the dry?

CCEL Footnote 1521 (In-Text, Margin)

39. So, then, death is not only not an evil, but is even a good thing. So that it is sought as a good, as it is written: “Men shall seek death and shall not find it.” They will seek it who shall say to the mountains: “Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us.”[Luke 23:30] That soul, too, shall seek it which has sinned. That rich man lying in hell shall seek it, who wishes that his tongue should be cooled with the finger of Lazarus.
