New International Version

Matthew 12:43-45

43“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.

45Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
