Pearls before the Swine, Parable of the
Pearls before the Swine, Parable of the
Matthew 7. (doctrine of the sacraments as a warning to the pastors) The second half of a poem:
Give not that which is holy to the dogs,
Neither cast your pearls before swine;
Lest perhaps they trample them under their feet,
And turning upon you they tear you.
