Lukas 11:17-26 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

17. But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, having had daas of their machshavot (thoughts), said to them, Every Malchut divided against itself is laid waste; and a bais (household) divided against itself falls.

18. And if Hasatan also was divided against himself, how shall Hasatan's Malchut (Kingdom) stand? Because you say by Baal-zibbul I cast out shedim.

19. But if I by Baal-zibbul cast out the shedim, by whom do your banim cast them out? Oib azoi (consequently), they shall be your shofetim (judges).

20. But, if I, by the finger of Hashem, cast out the shedim, then the Malchut Hashem has come upon you. [SHEMOT 8:19]

21. When a Gibbor (Strong Man), fully armed, is shomer over his armon (palace), his possessions are left in shalom;

22. But when someone stronger than he overpowers him, he takes away from him all his shiryon kaskasim (coat of scale armor) on which he had depended, and distributes his plunder.

23. The one who is not with me is against me (anti-Moshiach); and he who does not gather with me, scatters.

24. When the ruach hatameh (unclean spirit) goes out from the ben Adam, it goes through waterless places seeking a menuchah (resting place) and, not finding any, it says, I will return to my bais from where I came out.

25. And when it comes, it finds the bais having been swept and put beseder.

26. Then it goes and takes another sheva shedim more ra'ot (evil) than itself, and they enter it and dwell there; and the acharit (last) condition of that ish becomes worse than the reshit (first).
