As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly.

His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

Yea, they are greedy dogs who can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, everyone for his gain, from his own quarter.

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and tear you.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed one of another.

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

Of whom you beware also; for he has greatly withstood our words.

But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog has turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Depart from me, you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out demons? and in your name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made it shipwreck:

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they draw to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto myths.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that have just escaped from them who live in error.

For if after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

These are spots in your love feasts, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about by winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

And because of false brethren brought in unawares, who came in secretly to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
