Shalom Irbroyals; "Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion." The verse is a common form of Hebrew poetry called parellelism. The Gold Ring, a beautiful ornament, is compared to a beautiful woman. The Pig's snout (nose) is compared to a lack of discretion (one whose actions are not considered resulting in a lack of morality). Just as the beauty of the Gold ring is lost by being placed on a pig, the beauty of a woman is lost by her actions of immorality. Simchat Torah |
