Matthew 11:15-20
1599 Geneva Bible
15 ¶ He that hath ears to hear let him hear.
16 (A)[a]But whereunto shall I liken this generation? [b]It is like unto little children which sit in the markets, and call unto their fellows,
17 And say, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced, we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of men came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend unto Publicans and sinners: [c]but [d]wisdom is justified of her children.
20 ¶ (B)[e]Then began he to upbraid the cities, wherein most of his great works were done, because they repented not.
