Luke 23:30

Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

Cross-references

Hosea 10:8 Citation

Hosea 10:8 is the direct source of the cry for mountains to fall on them—Jesus quotes this prophetic judgment imagery verbatim.

Revelation 6:16 uses the same plea to mountains and rocks in an apocalyptic judgment scene—a later echo of the same tradition.

Isaiah 2:10 Parallel

Isaiah 2:10 describes hiding in rocks from terror of the Lord — the same imagery of seeking cover from divine judgment.

Isaiah 2:19 Parallel

Isaiah 2:19 describes people hiding in caves from God's terror—similar response to divine judgment, but not the exact plea for mountains to fall.
