Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool 
returneth to his folly. 
2 Peter 2 22 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. 
Peter explains of whom he speaks in 
3 
the verses just prior to this:
4 
2 Peter 2 20 For if after they have 
escaped the pollutions of the world 
through the knowledge of the Lord and 
Savior Jesus Christ, they are again 
entangled therein, and overcome, the 
latter end is worse with them than the 
beginning. 21 For it had been better for 
them not to have known the Way of 
Righteousness, than, after they have 
known it, to turn from the Holy 
Commandment delivered unto them.
They are people who have heard the 
Truth and understood it, but did not 
accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. 
They returned to their old habits that are filthy 
5 
and vile as a dog eating vomit or a pig 
wallowing in his own filth. 
Jesus said, “Ye must be born again.” 
Born of the Spirit of God into the family of God.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there 
is more hope of a fool than of him. 
He thinks he is smart, and does not 
6 
need The Lord or His Word. 
God’s Word tells us how to 
have eternal life, and how to 
live an abundant life. 
There is no other way.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the 
way; a lion is in the streets. 14 As the door turneth 
upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 
15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it 
grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. 16 The 
sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven 
men that can render a reason. 
A lazy man will work harder to get out of work, 
7 
than he would have to do the work.
8 
A lazy man will make any 
excuse to avoid getting out 
and going to work. 
A lazy man seems to be 
fastened to the bed as a 
door to its hinges.
He won’t keep a steady job; there’s always a 
9 
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than 
seven men that can render a reason. 
He thinks that he is too smart to work hard. 
problem and he quits or gets fired. 
He will suffer much loss, 
thanks to his laziness.
17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife 
belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog 
by the ears. 
To grab a strange dog by the ears 
10 
is to risk being bitten. 
To butt into other people’s arguments is taking 
a big risk; they may both turn on you.
Mind your own business. 
NIV 1 Thessalonians 4 11-12 Make it your ambition 
to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and 
to work with your hands, just as we told you, so 
that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders 
and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. 
11
12 
18 As a mad man who casteth fire-brands, arrows, 
and death, 19 So is the man that deceiveth his 
neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport? 
One who lies to his neighbor and then sees 
that he made his neighbor mad, 
Might say, “I was just joking.” 
He has already stirred up the trouble.
