Proverbs26:11
11 As a dog returneth to his vomit , so a fool returneth to his folly .
To lick up that which he had lately vomited, forgetting how burdensom and vexatious it was to him.
Such like is the impudence and madness of sinners, who having smarted for their sins, and been forced to forsake them for a time, do afterwards return to the commission of them.
Marginal references: 2 Pet. 2. 22.; Heb. iterateth his folly.
