Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
World English Bible (WEB)
Give{G1325}{(G5632)} not{G3361} that which{G3588} is holy{G40} unto the dogs{G2965}, neither{G3366} cast{G906}{(G5632)} ye your{G5216} pearls{G3135} before{G1715} swine{G5519}, lest{G3379} they trample{G2662}{(G5661)} them{G846} under{G1722} their{G846} feet{G4228}, and{G2532} turn again{G4762}{(G5651)} and rend{G4486}{(G5661)} you{G5209}.
KJV with Strongs
(6) Don't give the holy to dogs and don't throw your pearls before pigs or they will trample them under their feet and turn around, tearing you apart.
The F.O.G
Don't carelessly share sacred spiritual treasures with those who mock them. Don't cast the precious pearls of divine truth before those who trample them underfoot. For they will turn and attack you, destroying both the gift and the giver.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Ye may not give that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned—may rend you.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
