Matthew 12:43-45 - An Unclean Spirit Returns
43 "Now whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find [it]. 44 Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came out.' And [when it] arrives it finds [the house] unoccupied and swept and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings along with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and [they] go in [and] live there. And the last [state] of that person becomes worse than the first. So it will be for this evil generation also!"

27 Now it happened that as he said these [things], a certain woman from the crowd raised [her] voice [and] said to him, "Blessed [is] the womb that bore you, and [the] breasts [at] which you nursed!"
28 But he said, "On the contrary, blessed [are] those who hear the word of God and follow [it]!"
