Expanded Bible

⁴² On the judgment day, the Queen of the South will ·stand [rise] up with ·you people who live today [this generation]. She will ·show that you are guilty [condemn you], because she came from ·far away [the ends of the earth] to listen to Solomon’s wise teaching [1 Kin. 10:1–13]. And ·I tell you that [^Llook; ^Tbehold] ·someone [or something] greater than Solomon is here.

People Today Are Full of Evil^(A)

⁴³ “When an ·evil [defiling; ^Lunclean] spirit comes out of a person, it travels through ·dry [waterless; arid] places, looking for a place to rest, but it doesn’t find it. ⁴⁴ So the spirit says, ‘I will go back to the house [^Cthe person] I left.’ When the spirit comes back, it finds the house still empty, swept clean, and ·made neat [put in order; fixed up].
