Matthew 12:43-45

An Unclean Spirit Returns

43 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. ¹

44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.

45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”
