Proverbs 11:22
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
In context
20 The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but the blameless in their walk are His delight.
21 Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous leads only to good, but the hope of the wicked brings wrath.
24 One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.
