This generation is like children in a marketplace. They say 'We played the 

 Flute for you and you did not dance. 'We cried and you did not cry with us." John came and they called him a demon. Jesus came and they said he was a wine bibber, a friend of the tax collectors and a sinner! But wisdom is known by her children.

This generation is very critical because they are not responding to joy or to sorrow.  They don't see holy people so it means they lack wisdom. They called Jesus an alcoholic and John a demon. They said Jesus was a friend of tax collectors and he was a sinner. The passage is saying that you will not recognize Christ. So with wisdom you are able to see Christ.
