Matthew 7:6

Do not give what is holy unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine,—lest once they trample, them, down with their feet, and, turning, tear, you.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

7Be asking, and it shall be given you, Be seeking, and ye shall find,—Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you.
