"As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion." (Proverbs 11:22 NKJV)
He uses the metaphor of a precious gold on a pig's mouth likened to a woman with beautiful physical image but lives loosely, as a picture of how we appear in God's sight even as we live in a well-staged posture but of no virtue at the core.
Our core must be rooted in reverent awe of God. Then, from within, out flows grace and love. Love not as world's pandering and ego-feeding. But, rather love that cares for what is best. Love, that doesn't hesitate to tell the truth, even at the cost of being spurned. Love, that is not ashamed to remind us, how Jesus loves us all.
A lovely woman represents every being created in the image of God. Each one is God's masterpiece. Yes, we've been broken by sin but now restored by grace through Jesus' death, the moment we receive His Lordship over our life. By the leading of the Holy Spirit whom Jesus sent, we can now live as a lovely woman FULL of discretion, as the righteousness of God.
If anyone haven't yet, it is time to be reconciled to God and accept Jesus in your heart. Apostle Paul reminds with these words: "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:20, 21 ESV)
