7:31 “To what then should I compare the people 1 of this generation, and what are they like? 7:32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another, 2
‘We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance; 3
we wailed in mourning, 4 yet you did not weep.’
7:33 For John the Baptist has come 5 eating no bread and drinking no wine, 6 and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ 7 7:34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him, 8 a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 9 7:35 But wisdom is vindicated 10 by all her children.” 11
