Matthew 11:16-19

16“But to whatG5101 shall I compareG3666 thisG3778 generationG1074? It is likeG3664 childrenG3813 sittingG2521 in the marketplacesG58, whoG3739 callG4377 outG4377 to the otherG2087 children, 17and sayG3004, ‘We playedG832 theG832 fluteG832 for you, and you did not danceG3738; we sangG2354 aG2354 songG2354 ofG2354 mourningG2354, and you did not 1mournG2875.’ 18For JohnG2491 cameG2064 neitherG3383 2eatingG2068 norG3383 3drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, ‘4He hasG2192 a demonG1140!’ 19The SonG5207 of ManG444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, ‘BeholdG2400, a gluttonousG5314 manG444 and a 5heavyG3630 drinkerG3630, 6a friendG5384 of taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and 7sinnersG268!’ And yet wisdomG4678 is vindicatedG1344 by her deedsG2041.”
