2 Peter 2:21-22

Tree of Life Version

²¹ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after learning about it, to turn back from the holy commandment passed on to them. ^{[a] 22} What has happened to them confirms the truth of the proverb, “A dog returns to its vomit,”^[b] and “A scrubbed pig heads right back into the mud.”
