An Unclean Spirit’s Return

⁴³ “When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest but doesn’t find any.^{(A) 44} Then it says, ‘I’ll go back to my house that I came from.’ And returning, it finds the house vacant, swept, and put in order. ⁴⁵ Then off it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first.^(B) That’s how it will also be with this evil generation.”
