Luke 11:24-26

Return of an Unclean Spirit

24 ¹"When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through ²waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'

25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order.

26 Then it goes and brings 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."
