| Proverbs 26:11 | *As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly. 2 Peter 2:22. | Dog. This is the only animal which is known to do so. St. Peter uses this comparison to deter any from renouncing the faith; as the Fathers do, to shew the misery attending a relapse. Septuagint here add, "there is a confusion," etc., taken from Ecclesiasticus 4:25. (Calmet) |
