I think it probably means that although the Jews failed to comprehend that the Gospel was indeed God's plan (despite coming packaged in two different styles of approach: John's approach (fasting, holiness, etc) and Jesus's approach (f...riend of sinners, etc). Despite Israel on-the-whole failing to recognize God's plan (God's wisdom), the children of God's wisdom (that is, those who truly in their hearts comply with God's plan) acknowledge that the plan (the Gospel, the wisdom of God) is legitimate (they justified it).
It was the Jews who neither mourned nor danced when the mourners mourned and the pipers piped - but it was the children who belonged to wisdom who nonetheless justified it.
Jesus was saying that despite the Jews' overall rejection of God's plan, there was a group who would acknowledge God's plan.
