Quote #13

Like a dog that returns to its vomit is a fool who reverts to his folly. (NRSV 26:11)

As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. (KJV 26:11)

Being attracted to folly is the same as being attracted to something utterly gross—a dog curiously returning to lick up its own vomit. Ew.
