The Return of the Unclean Spirit^(A)

²⁴ “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, it goes through dry places seeking rest. Finding none, it says, ‘I will return to my house, from which I came.’ ²⁵ When it comes, it finds it swept and furnished. ²⁶ Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
