What are they like?' 32 'They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another: "We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a lament, and you did not weep."' 33 'For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, "He has a demon!"' 34 'The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!"' 35 'Yet wisdom is justified by all her children.'
