41]The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with
this generation and condemn it; for they changed their minds at the
preaching of Jonah; and behold a greater than Jonah is here. [12:42]The
queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation
and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the
wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here.
[12:43]But when the impure spirit has gone out of a man, it goes
through dry places seeking a rest, and finds none. [12:44]Then it says,
I will return to my house from which I went out; and coming, it finds

because it had no root it was dried up. [13:7]And some fell among
