As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a beautiful woman who is without discretion.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 11:22 Go To Proverbs 11
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Foolish. Beauty, without prudence, leads to ruin, as ornaments are ill bestowed on swine. The women in the east sometimes wore rings in their noses, (Genesis xxiv. 22.; Calmet) or hanging down upon them, Isaias iii. 21. (Menochius)
