ביטוי (אנגלית)

A fool returns to the path of folly

הגדרה (אנגלית)

A fool tends to go back to irrational, foolish behavior. "If a person is foolish, it lasts a long time."

("Like a dog that returns to its vomit" (Proverbs 26) — Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: "A fool returns to the path of his folly," as the Midrash states: "A fool repeats his foolishness" — Vayikra Rabbah (Margoliot), Metzora, section 16)
