Matthew 12:43-45

New Century Version

People Today Are Full of Evil

⁴³ “When an evil spirit comes out of a person, it travels through dry places, looking for a place to rest, but it doesn’t find it. ⁴⁴ So the spirit says, ‘I will go back to the house I left.’ When the spirit comes back, it finds the house still empty, swept clean, and made neat. ⁴⁵ Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits even more evil than it is, and they go in and live there. So the person has even more trouble than before. It is the same way with the evil people who live today.”
