The term "vomiteth" is an archaic form of the word "vomits," and it appears in the context of biblical scripture to convey a vivid image of rejection, disgust, or the consequences of folly and sin. This term is used metaphorically in the Bible to illustrate spiritual and moral truths, often highlighting the repulsive nature of sin and the folly of returning to one's sinful ways.

Proverbs 26:11 :
"As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly."

This proverb uses the imagery of a dog returning to its vomit to describe the foolishness of repeating one's mistakes. In ancient times, dogs were not seen as domesticated pets but rather as scavengers, often associated with uncleanliness. The act of a dog returning to its vomit is a powerful metaphor for the senselessness of a person who, despite experiencing the negative consequences of their actions, chooses to return to the same sinful behavior. This proverb serves as a warning against the lack of wisdom and discernment, urging believers to learn from their past errors and to pursue a path of righteousness.

2 Peter 2:22 :
"Of them the proverbs are true: 'A dog returns to its vomit,' and, 'A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.'"

In this New Testament passage, the Apostle Peter references the proverb from Proverbs 26:11 to describe false teachers and those who have turned away from the truth of the Gospel. Peter warns that such individuals, after having escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of Jesus Christ, are entangled again and overcome by their former sins. The imagery of a dog returning to its vomit and a washed sow returning to the mud underscores the tragic nature of apostasy and the danger of falling back into sinful habits after having known the way of righteousness.

The use of "vomiteth" in these passages serves as a stark reminder of the repulsive nature of sin and the importance of spiritual vigilance. It calls believers to a life of repentance and transformation, encouraging them to forsake their old ways and to walk in the newness of life offered through Christ. The vivid imagery is intended to provoke a strong emotional response, urging individuals to reflect on their spiritual condition and to seek the wisdom and strength that comes from a relationship with God.Vomiteth (4 Occurrences)
