========================
Matthew 12:43-45
========================
43“When an impure spirit
comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not
find it.
44Then it says, ‘I will
return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied,
swept clean and put in order.
45Then it goes and takes with
it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there.
And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it
will be with this wicked generation.”
