^8 (A)Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!

^31 (A)The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a ^(B)greater than Solomon is here.

²⁸ But He said, ^(A)“More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, ^(A)who also ^(B)sat at ^[a]Jesus’ feet and heard His word. ⁴⁰ But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”

⁴¹ And ^[b]Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. ⁴² But ^(C)one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

⁷ Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom! ⁸ Blessed be the Lord your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for the Lord your God! Because your God has ^(A)loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
