2 Peter 2:21-22

Expanded Bible

²¹ ·Yes, [^LFor] it would be better for them to have never known the ·right way [or the way of righteousness] than to know it and to turn away from the holy ·teaching [^Lcommandment; law] that was ·given [passed on; handed down] to them. ²² What they did is like this true ·saying [proverb; parable]: “A dog ·goes back to what it has thrown up [^Treturns to its vomit; Prov. 26:11],” and, “After a pig is washed, it goes back and rolls in the mud.”
