'Flute' in the Bible
And [when] Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the disorderly crowd,
saying, 'We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a lament and you did not mourn.'
They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another, who say, 'We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a lament and you did not weep.'
Likewise, the inanimate things which produce a sound, whether flute or lyre, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the lyre?
And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute players and trumpeters will never be heard in you again! And every craftsman of every trade will never be found in you again! And the sound of a mill will never be heard in you again!
