noyes@Matthew:12:42 @ The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something more than Solomon is here.

noyes@Matthew:12:43 @ But when the unclean spirit is gone out from a man, it goeth through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.
