32They are like some little children who are sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another — ‘We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not wept!’
33For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying ‘He has a demon in him’;
34and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and outcasts.’
35And yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
