PROVERBS 11:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.”
Beauty without discretion: Like a gold ring in a pigs snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion. Physical beauty (yafah ishah) without sense (v'lo to'evenah) is grotesque, like wearing fine jewelry while acting like a pig. This indicates that true beauty includes character and wisdom, not just appearance.
