For the truth of the proverb has happened to them: The dog has returned to his own vomit, and the washed sow has returned to her wallowing in the mud.
Like a dog that returns to his vomit, so also is the imprudent who repeats his foolishness.
But if, after the stones have been dug out, and the dust wiped away, and it is plastered with other clay,
Jesus spoke this proverb to them. But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
