Matthew 11:16-24

16“To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to other children:

17We played the flute for you, but you didn’t dance; we sang a lament, but you didn’t mourn!

18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

19The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”

20Then he proceeded to denounce the towns where most of his miracles were done, because they did not repent:

21“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes long ago.

22But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

23And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until today.

24But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
