Gospel : Matthew 11:16-19
16 "But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you didn't dance. We mourned for you, and you didn't lament.'
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children."†
†11:19: NU reads "actions" instead of "children"

Isaiah 48:17-19
17 the LORD,
your Redeemer,
the Holy One of Israel says:
"I am the LORD your God,
who teaches you to profit,
who leads you by the way that you should go.
18 Oh that you had listened to my commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river,
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Your offspring* also would have been as the sand,
and the descendants of your body like its grains.
His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me."
*48:19: or, seed
