It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.

They are an example of that true saying, The dog has gone back to the food it had put out, and the pig which had been washed to its rolling in the dirty earth.

Συνεβη δε εις αυτους το της αληθινης παροιμιας, Ο κυων επεστρεψεν εις το ιδιον αυτου εξερασμα, και, Ο χοιρος λουσθεις επεστρεψεν εις το κυλισμα του βορβορου.

But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
