An Unclean Spirit Returns

(Luke 11:24–26)

43 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find [it]. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds [the house] vacant, swept clean, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in [and] dwell there. And the final [plight] of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”
