“As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. is without: Heb. departeth from”
Proverbs 11:22 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 11:22
As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman without discretion. The striking image presents incongruity - precious jewelry adorning a filthy animal. External beauty without moral discretion (ta'am - taste, judgment) is similarly incongruous and wasted. Beauty should accompany wisdom; without it, physical attractiveness is absurd. This verse subordinates external beauty to internal character.
