Matthew 11:16

“To ¹  what should I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to one another, ² 

"To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the market-places and calling out to others:

"But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places, who call out to the other children,

"How shall I describe this generation? These people are like a group of children playing a game in the public square. They complain to their friends,

"How can I account for this generation? The people have been like spoiled children whining to their parents,

But what comparison may I make of this generation? It is like children seated in the market-places, crying out to one another,

"But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another,

"But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,

“To ¹  what should I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to one another, ²
