Wisdom and Repentance

Luke 11:31-32   
31 The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

When seeking wisdom, how many look to men instead of God?  When hearing of God's final judgment, how many turn from sin to Him?  Jesus made it clear that God came to men as one of us to tell us these things personally.  Even though we listen to the wisest men who ever lived (more than our geniuses, scientists, or philosophers), Jesus is far greater.  Even corrupt and immoral Nineveh repented.  Yet men still scoff at and argue with their creator and master.
