Matthew 12:43-45

Listen to Matthew 12:43-45

An Unclean Spirit Returns

43 "Now whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find [it].
44 Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came out.' And [when it] arrives it finds [the house] unoccupied and swept and put in order.
45 Then it goes and brings along with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and [they] go in [and] live there. And the last [state] of that person becomes worse than the first. So it will be for this evil generation also!"
