People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 7:6
Give not that which is holy unto dogs. The dog was regarded an
unclean animal by the Jewish law. They probably represent snarling,
scoffing opposers. The characteristic of dogs is brutality. To try to
instill holy things into such low, unclean, and sordid brutal minds is
useless.
Neither cast ye your pearls before swine. The swine were also
unclean. They would have no use for pearls, and perhaps would rush upon
those who scattered the pearls. So, too, there are men so dull,
imbruted and senseless, as to reject the pearls of truth. It is our
duty to help and to try to save others, but we must use common sense.
