Luke 21:21-23
New English Translation

21 Then those who are in Judea must flee[a] to the mountains. Those[b] who are inside the city must depart. Those[c] who are out in the country must not enter it, 22 because these are days of vengeance,[d] to fulfill[e] all that is written. 23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distress[f] on the earth and wrath against this people.
