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.”
Woe to the Impenitent Cities
20 aThen He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent:
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago ain sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say to you, ait will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
