An Unclean Spirit Returns
24 “Whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find it.[a] It says,[b] ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’ 25 And when it[c] arrives it finds the house[d] swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and[e] live there. And the last state of that person becomes worse than the first!”
