2 Peter 2:21-22
Wycliffe Bible
21 For it was better to them to not know the way of rightwiseness, than to turn again after the knowing, from that holy commandment that was betaken to them.
22 For that very proverb befelled to them, The hound turned again to his vomit, or casting, and a sow is washed in wallowing in fen. [Soothly that thing of very proverb befell to them, An hound turned again to his vomit, or casting up, and a sow washed in the wallowing, or slough, of clay, or fen.]

2 Peter 2:21-22
New International Version
21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.(A) 22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,”[a](B) and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
