Proverbs11:22
22. As▪ a jewel of gold in a swines snout , so is a fair woman which is without discretion .
Which would not adorn the Swine, but onely be disparaged it self. It was the custom of some of the Iews to wear Jewels upon their Noses, and some of their Neighbours wore them in their Noses.
Which disgraceth the beauty of her Body by a foolish and filthy Soul.
