you say, 'Look, he is a gluttonous man and a drunkard ... sinners!'
This can be translated as an indirect quote. Alternate translation: "you say that he is a gluttonous man and a drunkard ... sinners." or "you accuse him of eating and drinking too much and of being ... sinners." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations)
you say, 'Look, he is a gluttonous man and a drunkard ... sinners!'
