Matthew 11:17

15 ^aHe who has ears to hear, let him hear!

16 ^a“But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,

17 and saying:
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not¹ dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not lament.’

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a¹ winebibber, ^aa friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ ^bBut wisdom is justified by her² children.”
