In Proverbs 26, it has several analogies about foolish/lazy people. It mentions how honor given to the lazy person is like snow on a Summer day. Later on in this chapter, it is like a hinge on a door when the lazy person turns over. One of the grossest comparisons is that a foolish/lazy person is like a dog going to its vomit.

Isn’t it true, that it is wasting time giving praise to the foolish person!? A fool will think that what they are doing/saying is great and that you agree with them. It just is not fitting to give their sayings acknowledgements.

On the ideas of a foolish/lazy person being like a hinge and a dog, it is true that these individuals will keep repeating the foolish actions. They will swing back to their wrong ways, or they will lap up the vomit they just spewed out. Father, give us the wisdom to learn from our past mistakes and not to become complacent. Let us advance with you into new beginnings! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
