Deuteronomy 23:18

Psalms 59:6

     6, 7. They are as ravening dogs seeking prey, and as such,

      belch out—that is, slanders, their impudent barkings.

Psalms 59:14-15

     14, 15. Meanwhile let the rapacious dogs prowl, they cannot hurt the pious; yea, they shall wander famished and sleepless.

     15. grudge if, &c.—literally, "they shall stay all night," that is, obtain nothing.

2 Peter 2:22

     22. But—You need not wonder at the event; for dogs and swine they were before, and dogs and swine they will continue. They "scarcely" (2Pe 2:18) have escaped from their filthy folly, when they again are entangled in it. Then they seduce others who have in like manner "for a little time escaped from them that live in error" (2Pe 2:18). Peter often quoted Proverbs in his First Epistle (1Pe 1:7; 2:17; 4:8, 18); another proof that both Epistles come from the same writer.
