41. The men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. 42. The Queen of the south shall rise up in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here.
41. The men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonas, and behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 42. The Queen of the south shall rise up in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here.
41, 42. Nineveh repented at a far less warning and convincing means, than the Miracles and words of the Messiah sent from heaven: And the Queen of the South came from a far land to hear the wisdom of Solomon; but these men despise a far greater than Solomon; these therefore shall condemn them.
43. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, ⟨image 20⟩seeking rest, and finding none. 44. Then he saith, I will return into my house, from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished: 45. Then goeth he and taketh with him seven other spirits, more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first: even so shall it be also to this wicked generation.
