Matthew 12:43-45
Wycliffe Bible
43 When an unclean spirit goeth out from a man, he goeth by dry places, seeking rest, and findeth not.[a]
44 Then he saith, I shall turn again into mine house, from whence I went out [Then he saith, I shall turn again into my house, from whence I came out]. And he cometh, and findeth it void, and cleansed with besoms, and made fair.
45 Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits worse than himself; and they enter [in], and dwell there. And the last things of that man be made worse than the former. So it shall be [and] to this worst generation.

Matthew 12:43-45
New Matthew Bible
43 But when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walks throughout dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, I will return again into my house, the one I came out of. And when he comes back, he finds the house empty and swept and set in order. 45 Then he goes his way and gets seven other spirits worse than himself, and so they enter in and dwell there. And the end of that man is worse than the beginning. That is how it will be with this evil nation.

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
