Talmud zu Mischlej 26:11
כְּ֭כֶלֶב שָׁ֣ב עַל־קֵא֑וֹ כְּ֝סִ֗יל שׁוֹנֶ֥ה בְאִוַּלְתּֽוֹ׃
Wie ein Hund, der zu seinem Erbrochenen zurückkehrt, so ist ein Dummkopf, der seine Torheit wiederholt.
Jerusalem Talmud Yoma
206Babli 86b; Tosephta 4:15. It was stated: “Sins which he confessed the past Day of Atonement he does not have to confess the next day of Atonement; if he would do this, the verse says about him, like a dog returning to his vomit, so is the silly repeating his foolishness207Prov. 26:11.. It was stated, Rebbi Eliezer208In Babli and Tosephta: R. Eliezer ben Jacob. says, he would be clever and be rewarded. What is Rebbi Eliezer’s reason? But my sin is always before me209Ps. 51:5..” How does Rebbi Eliezer interpret the rabbis’ reason, like a dog returning to his vomit, so is the silly repeating his foolishness? If he repeats the same sin. How do the rabbis interpret Rebbi Eliezer’s reason, but my sin is always before me? It should not be in his eyes as if he never did it, but that he did it and he was forgiven.
