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
Salvian the Presbyter
AD 429
What is a holy appellation without merit but an ornament set in the mud? The holy Scriptures have testified to this in writing: “A golden ring in a swine’s snout, a woman fair and foolish.” And in us the appellation Christian is like a golden ornament. If we use it unworthily, we seem to be swine with an ornament.
