Luke 11:17-26

171But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “2Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against 3itself falls. 18If 4Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by 5Beelzebul. 19And if I by 6Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges. 20But if I cast out demons by the 7finger of God, then 8the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21When 9a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are 10undisturbed. 22But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder. 2311He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.

24“12When the unclean spirit goes out of 13a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order. 26Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
