2 Peter 2:21-22
211For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from 2the holy commandment 3handed on to them.
224It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “5A dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”
