Jeremiah 3:8-11

8 She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, ^aI had sent her away with ^ba decree of divorce. ^cYet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went ^dand played the whore. 9 Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with ^estone and tree. 10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me ^fwith her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”

11 And the Lord said to me, ^g“Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

Matthew 12:41-42

41 ^hThe men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and ⁱcondemn it, for ^jthey repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, ^ksomething greater than Jonah is here. 42 ^lThe queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, ^msomething greater than Solomon is here.
