text (Luke 7,31-35):
The Lord said, «What comparison can I use for this people? What are they like?
They are like children sitting in the marketplace, about whom their companions
complain: ‘We piped you a tune and you wouldn't dance; we sang funeral songs
and you wouldn't cry’. Remember John: he didn't eat bread or drink wine, and you
said: ‘He has an evil spirit’. Next came the Son of Man, eating and drinking,
and you say: ‘Look, a glutton for food and wine, a friend of tax collectors and
sinners’. But the children of Wisdom always recognize her work».
