John Chrysostom, on Prov 26:11

“As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.”

“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."”
