2 Peter 2 20-2 Peter 2 22
For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of 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.”

So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

So Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past.And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and struck them with a mighty blow, and they fled from him.Now the distressing spirit from the Lord came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing music with his hand.Then Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul’s presence; and he drove the spear into the wall. So David fled and escaped that night.Saul also sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying,“ If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
