Luke 11:25-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

25. When it arrives, it finds the house cleaned up and decorated.

26. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself. They go in and make their home there. That person is worse off at the end than at the beginning."

27. While Jesus was saying these things, a certain woman in the crowd spoke up: "Happy is the mother who gave birth to you and who nursed you."

28. But he said, "Happy rather are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice."
