Luke 7:31-32 King James Version (KJV)
31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.



Luke 7:31-32 Revised Standard Version (RSV)

31
“To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the market place and calling to one another,
‘We piped to you, and you did not dance;
we wailed, and you did not weep.’

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

31 We shouldn’t be the ones to do this but the Lord can, we may think this generation is worse then the last and it may well be but it up to God to truly decide that.

32 This generation expected Him to react if they acted. We should act base off of God and it shouldn’t be the other way around. The people wanted to know and control who God would act, we should instead be controlled by His actions that He has planned for us.
 
People are quick in their own judgements and overlook what they are looking at. This is Jesus criticizing His generation for their rejection of John the Baptist and also rejecting Jesus being the promised Messiah.
