1. Sayings of the dog and the sow
Verse route2 Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. [kjv]

It is often said that "one cannot teach on old dog new tricks". Over history there have been many sayings that involve animals such as dogs and pigs.

In some sense, both "dogs" and "pigs" return to their old ways. Like in Hebrew proverbs, Peter repeats the same idea twice to avoid confusion of meaning.
