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.’
‘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.”
