Luke 11:24-26

Expanded Bible

The Empty Person^(A)

²⁴ “When an ·evil [defiling; ^Lunclean; 4:33] spirit comes out of a person, it ·travels [wanders] through ·dry [waterless; arid] places, looking for a place to rest. But when it finds no place, it says, ‘I will go back to the house [^Cmeaning the person] I left.’ ²⁵ And when it comes back, it finds that house swept clean and ·made neat [in order; fixed up]. ²⁶ Then ·the evil spirit [^Lit] goes out and brings seven other spirits more evil than it is, and they go in and live there. So ·the person has even more trouble than before [^Lthe last state of that person is worse than the first].”
