A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, &c.--The Ninevites, though heathens, repented at a man's preaching; while they, God's covenant-people, repented not at the preaching of the Son of God--whose supreme dignity is rather implied here than expressed.

1 The burden [04853] of Nineveh [05210]. The book [05612] of the vision [02377] of Nahum [05151] the Elkoshite [0512].
32 The men [435] of Nineve [3535] shall rise up [450] in [1722] the judgment [2920] with [3326] this [5026] generation [1074], and [2532] shall condemn [2632] it [846]: for [3754] they repented [3340] at [1519] the preaching [2782] of Jonas [2495]; and [2532], behold [2400], a greater than [4119] Jonas [2495] is here [5602].
5 So the people [0582] of Nineveh [05210] believed [0539] God [0430], and proclaimed [07121] a fast [06685], and put [03847] on sackcloth [08242], from the greatest [01419] of them even to the least [06996] of them.
6 For word [01697] came [05060] unto the king [04428] of Nineveh [05210], and he arose [06965] from his throne [03678], and he laid [05674] his robe [0155] from him, and covered [03680] him with sackcloth [08242], and sat [03427] in ashes [0665].
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed [02199] and published [0559] through Nineveh [05210] by the decree [02940] of the king [04428] and his nobles [01419], saying [0559], Let neither man [0120] nor beast [0929], herd [01241] nor flock [06629], taste [02938] any thing [03972]: let them not feed [07462], nor drink [08354] water [04325]:
8 But let man [0120] and beast [0929] be covered [03680] with sackcloth [08242], and cry [07121] mightily [02394] unto God [0430]: yea, let them turn [07725] every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], and from the violence [02555] that is in their hands [03709].
9 Who can tell [03045] if God [0430] will turn [07725] and repent [05162], and turn away [07725] from his fierce [02740] anger [0639], that we perish [06] not?
20 Then [5119] began he [756] to upbraid [3679] the cities [4172] wherein [1722] [3739] most [4118] of his [846] mighty works [1411] were done [1096], because [3754] they repented [3340] not [3756]:
21 Woe [3759] unto thee [4671], Chorazin [5523]! woe [3759] unto thee [4671], Bethsaida [966]! for [3754] if [1487] the mighty works [1411], which [3588] were done [1096] in [1722] you [5213], had been done [1096] in [1722] Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], they would have repented [3340] long ago [302] [3819] in [1722] sackcloth [4526] and [2532] ashes [4700].
22 But [4133] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605] at [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for you [5213].
23 And [2532] thou [4771], Capernaum [2584], which [3588] art exalted [5312] unto [2193] heaven [3772], shalt be brought down [2601] to [2193] hell [86]: for [3754] if [1487] the mighty works [1411], which [3588] have been done [1096] in [1722] thee [4671], had been done [1096] in [1722] Sodom [4670], it would have remained [302] [3306] until [3360] this day [4594].
24 But [4133] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] it shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for the land [1093] of Sodom [4670] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for thee [4671].
6 But [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] in this place [5602] is one [2076] greater than [3187] the temple [2411].
11 And [2532] many [4183] false prophets [5578] shall rise [1453], and [2532] shall deceive [4105] many [4183].
11 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Among [1722] them that are born [1084] of women [1135] there hath [1453] not [3756] risen [1453] a greater than [3187] John [2491] the Baptist [910]: notwithstanding [1161] he that is least [3398] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] greater than [3187] he [846].
42 The queen [938] of the south [3558] shall rise up [1453] in [1722] the judgment [2920] with [3326] this [5026] generation [1074], and [2532] shall condemn [2632] it [846]: for [3754] she came [2064] from [1537] the uttermost parts [4009] of the earth [1093] to hear [191] the wisdom [4678] of Solomon [4672]; and [2532], behold [2400], a greater than [4119] Solomon [4672] is here [5602].
57 And [2532] there arose [450] certain [5100], and bare false witness [5576] against [2596] him [846], saying [3004],
