11:29	Mgbe ahụ, as the crowds were quickly gathering, he began to say: “This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign. But no sign will be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
11:30	For just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of man be to this generation.
11:31	The queen of the South will rise up, at the judgment, with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Ma lee, more than Solomon is here.
11:32	The men of Nineveh will rise up, at the judgment, with this generation, and they will condemn it. For at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. Ma lee, more than Jonah is here.
