Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool

returneth to his folly.

2 Peter 2 22 But it is happened unto them according

to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own

vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her

wallowing in the mire.

Peter explains of whom he speaks in

the verses just prior to this:

4

2 Peter 2 20 For if after they have

escaped the pollutions of the world

through the knowledge of the Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ, they are again

entangled therein, and overcome, the

latter end is worse with them than the

beginning. 21 For it had been better for

them not to have known the Way of

Righteousness, than, after they have

known it, to turn from the Holy

Commandment delivered unto them.

5

They are people who have heard the

Truth and understood it, but did not

accept Jesus as Savior and Lord.

They returned to their old habits that are filthy

and vile as a dog eating vomit or a pig

wallowing in his own filth.

Jesus said, “Ye must be born again.”

Born of the Spirit of God into the family of God.

6

12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there

is more hope of a fool than of him.

He thinks he is smart, and does not

need The Lord or His Word.

God’s Word tells us how to

have eternal life, and how to

live an abundant life.

There is no other way.

7

13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the

way; a lion is in the streets. 14 As the door turneth

upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it

grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. 16 The

sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven

men that can render a reason.

A lazy man will work harder to get out of work,

than he would have to do the work.

8

A lazy man will make any

excuse to avoid getting out

and going to work.

A lazy man seems to be

fastened to the bed as a

door to its hinges.

9

16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than

seven men that can render a reason.

He thinks that he is too smart to work hard.

He will suffer much loss,

thanks to his laziness.

He won’t keep a steady job; there’s always a

problem and he quits or gets fired.

10

17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife

belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog

by the ears.

To grab a strange dog by the ears

is to risk being bitten.

To butt into other people’s arguments is taking

a big risk; they may both turn on you.

11

Mind your own business.

NIV 1 Thessalonians 4 11-12 Make it your ambition

to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and

to work with your hands, just as we told you, so

that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders

and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

12

18 As a mad man who casteth fire-brands, arrows,

and death, 19 So is the man that deceiveth his

neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport?

One who lies to his neighbor and then sees

that he made his neighbor mad,

Might say, “I was just joking.”

He has already stirred up the trouble.
