Holy Scripture
Proverbs 26:11
A church father on this verse
“Don't you know that people so unconcerned about their own salvation and vacillating between attention to it and headlong course into the devil's net are compared in sacred Scripture with dogs? It says, remember, "The person who turns away from his sin and then goes back to it is like a dog returning to its vomit."”
Source: Septuagint
Original
11As when a dog goes to his own vomit, and becomes abominable, So is a fool who returns in his wickedness to his own sin. a There is a shame that brings sin: And there is a shame that is glory and grace.
