  of the world through the knowledge of the Lord

  righteousness, than having known it, to turn from
  the holy commandment delivered to them. But it
  has happened to them according to the true
  proverb A dog returns to his own vomit, and,
  a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the
  mire. (2 Peter 220-22)
