But the blameless in their ways are His delight.
But bthe posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.

Proverbs 11:22
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.
