A Dog Returns to Its Vomit
A concentrated series of sayings examines the fool from multiple angles. Some instructions appear paradoxical—do not answer a fool according to his folly, yet answer a fool according to his folly—because wise response depends on what will prevent the hearer either from becoming foolish or from imagining himself wise.
2 Peter 2:22 reproduces the proverb of the dog returning to its vomit from Proverbs 26:11 and applies it to relapse into corruption.
