Don'T Throw Pearls To Pigs

5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 6 Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. 7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
