Proverbs 26:11 Context
9As a thorne goeth vp into the hand of a drunkard; so is a parable in the mouth of fooles. 10The great God that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole, and rewardeth transgressours. 11As a dogge returneth to his vomite: so a foole returneth to his folly. 12Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceit? there is more hope of a foole then of him. 13The slothfull man sayth, There is a lion in the way, a lion is in the streets.
