Matthew 11:19-21
New Century Version
19 The Son of Man came, eating and drinking, and people say, ‘Look at him! He eats too much and drinks too much wine, and he is a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved to be right by what she does.”
Jesus Warns Unbelievers
20 Then Jesus criticized the cities where he did most of his miracles, because the people did not change their lives and stop sinning. 21 He said, “How terrible for you, Korazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! If the same miracles I did in you had happened in Tyre and Sidon,[a] those people would have changed their lives a long time ago. They would have worn rough cloth and put ashes on themselves to show they had changed.

Woe on Unrepentant Towns(B)
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!(C) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,(D) they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.(E)
