Because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold— a greater thing than Solomon is here. ³² Ninevite men will rise-up at the judgment with this generation, and they will condemn it. Because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold— a greater thing than Jonah is here.
