Just as when some children dance and others mourn, their will does not settle into one thing (for both blame companions who do not agree with them), something like that happened to the Jews: they accepted neither John’s gloom nor Christ’s ease, and were helped by neither manner (Matthew 11:16–17).
Greek
Ὥσπερ παιδίων ὀρχουμένων, ἑτέρων δὲ θρηνούντων οὐχ ἵσταται εἰς ἓν <τὸ> βούλημα (ἀμφότερα γὰρ μέμφονται τοῖς ἑταίροις μὴ συμφωνοῦσιν αὐτοῖς), τοιοῦτόν τι πεπόνθασιν Ἰουδαῖοι οὐδὲ τὸ στυγνὸν τοῦ Ἰωάννου οὔτε τὸ ἀνειμένον τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἀποδεξάμενοι οὐδὲ δι' ἑνὸς τρόπου ὠφεληθέντες.
