Demons » Parable of the man repossessed by unclean spirits
But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and doesn't find it. Then he says, 'I will return into my house from which I came out,' and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

Even so will it be also to this evil generation."
