Demons » Parable of the man repossessed by unclean spirits
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
