Luke 11:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ New Offensive from the Evil Spirit.“When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions seeking a place to rest, and if it finds none it says, ‘I will return to the home from which I departed.’ ²⁵ However, when it returns, it finds that home swept and put in order. ²⁶ Then it goes off and brings back seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they enter and settle there. As a result, the plight of that person is worse than before.”
