Matthew 12:40-42
International Standard Version
40 because just as Jonah was in the stomach of the sea creature for three days and three nights,[a] so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment and condemn the people living today,[b] because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. But look—something greater than Jonah is here! 42 The queen of the south will stand up and condemn the people living today,[c] because she came from so far away[d] to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But look! Something greater than Solomon is here!”

New International Version
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish,(A) so the Son of Man(B) will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.(C) 41 The men of Nineveh(D) will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah,(E) and now something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came(F) from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.
