16 What shall I compare this generation to? It's like children sitting in the market places shouting to each other,17 ‘We played the flute for you and you didn't dance; we sang sad songs and you didn't cry.’18 John didn't come feasting and drinking, so people say, ‘He's devil-possessed!’19 On the other hand the Son of man came and did feast and drink, and people say, ‘Look, he's greedy and drinks too much; he's a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is shown to be right by what it does…”

20 Then he began to reprimand the towns where he'd done most of his miracles because they had not repented.21 “Shame on you, Korazin! Shame on you, Bethsaida! If the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which happened among you, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes long ago.22 But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be better for Tyre and Sidon than it will for you!23 And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be exalted to heaven? No, you'll go down to Hades! If the miracles had been performed in Sodom which happened among you, Sodom would still be here today.24 But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be better for Sodom than it will for you!”

Matthew 11: 16-24
