32 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they (B)repented at the preaching of Jonah: and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
33 ¶ (C)[a]No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a privy place, neither under a bushel: but on a candlestick, that they which come in, may see the light.
