Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [4]

 Proverbs 26:11 (a) Vomit is good food that has been mixed with the juices of the body, and is then thrown out for consumption by another. It represents doctrines that are taken from the Word of GOD into the human mind, are mixed with human ideas, and then given out for others to believe and accept. That which emanates from the pens and the lips of false teachers who present a false faith is "vomit" in the Bible sense of the word. (See also2Pe  2:22).
