Matthew 12:44

---

← Matthew 12:43 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 12:44 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 12:45 [words of Jesus] →
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.	Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
