Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
A jewel of gold in a swine' s snout - That is, beauty in a woman destitute of good breeding and modest carriage, is as becoming as a gold ring on the snout of a swine. Coverdale translates thus: "A fayre woman without discrete maners, is like a ringe of golde in a swyne' s snoute." In Asiatic countries the nose jewel is very common: to this the text alludes.
