An Unclean Spirit Returns

43 And when the unclean spirit has gone out from a man, he passes through sterile places, seeking rest, and finds not. 44 Then says he, I will return into my house, whence I came out; and having come, he finds vacant; having been swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits, worse than he, and having come in, they dwell there: and the last things of that man are worse than the first. So also shall it be to this evil generation.
