  1. Pearls Before Swines The Bible By Kiara Williams

  2. The history • In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus admonished his followers to “cast not your pearls before your swine.” That is , his followers were to deliver their message to those who would appreciate it, not to those incapable of appreciating something of value . (Swine , or pigs , would be unable to appreciate pearls if the jewels were given to them .)

  3. Modern day usage • The modern day usage of “pearls before swine” is when someone is unappreciative of what they have , or complaining about what he or she has got. It’s also being bratty , ungrateful , or spoiled.

  4. Examples When he makes a profound point that we students just do not understand, our teacher sometimes shakes his head and mutters. “Pearls before swine.” I gave my sister a rare , expensive first edition of To Kill A Mockingbird , and she simply said, “I’ve already read that book.” I realized I was casting my pearls before swine. Giving him advice is like “casting your pearls before swine” , he doesn’t listen.
