Matthew 12:43-45

Return of an Unclean Spirit

43 “When ¹the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through ²waterless places seeking rest, but finds none.

44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came. ’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order.

45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and ³the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this ⁴evil generation. ”
