An Unclean Spirit’s Return
24 “When(A) an unclean spirit(B) comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest,(C) and not finding rest, it then[a] says, ‘I’ll go back to my house where I came from.’ 25 And returning, it finds the house swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits(D) more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first.”(E)

New International Version
24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes 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.”(A)
