As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
In context
9Like a thornbush that comes up in a drunkard’s hand is a proverb in the mouth of fools. 10Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a fool, or hires whoever passes by. 11As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. 12Have you seen a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. 13The sluggard says, “There is a lion on the road! A lion in the squares!”
