Proverbs 11:12
A beautiful woman who rejects good sense is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.
Ha, have you noticed that my faves are always ones about how outer appearances aren’t important? So, let me break it down. The way I see it. So a beautiful woman who rejects good sense. Well, I have a feeling it’s a little more than a “dumb blonde.” No, just kidding. But yes, I think, if I relate it to our generation, it means that what good is beauty if your making a mess with your life, not showing good sense? Like those teenage moms. I guess they had to be “pretty” to be where they are. But what good does that do them, if they lacked good judgment. If they didn’t stay away from those bad influences. The comparison is a gold ring in a pig’s snout. Well, that is pretty harsh. The pig is probably the most stereotypical dirtiest and lowliest animal there is. And to take a gold ring. Think solid, 24 carat gold. Several ounces of it, so pure, carved into a gentle hoop, and where is it given? A pig. What a waste, you might think. I sure think that. So that’s what this verse is saying. What a waste is beauty on a girl/woman if they make bad decisions.
