Luke 7:30-35

30However, the Pharisees and the experts in religious law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)

31“To what then should I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?

32They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance; we wailed in mourning, yet you did not weep.’

33For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
