Proverbs 11:22

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

Gregory of Nyssa

AD 394
Let eagerness for virginity be put down as the foundation for the life of virtue, but let there be built upon this foundation all the products of virtue. If this is believed to be precious and befitting to God, as it is, but one’s whole life does not conform to it and is stained by the rest of the soul’s disorder, then this is “the golden ring in the swine’s snout” or the pearl trampled under the feet of the swine.
