Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion (Proverbs 11:22).

I never gave this verse a close enough look at times, as it shows how beauty in women today can be destroyed for all people involved.

A pig wearing luxurious jewelry? That’s absurd. Two applications of this proverb would be that (1) men should not desire the beautiful but indiscreet woman, and (2) women should not hope to be like her. The pig prompts images of laziness and ignorance. Pigs eat trash and live in filth. A pig’s stench follows it wherever it goes, leaving traces everywhere. A pig would have no idea of the value of a gold ring in its snout.
