Matthew 7:6

7:6 Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and turn around and tear you to pieces. ¹ 

Matthew 8:32

8:32 And he said, ²  “Go!” So ³  they came out and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned in the water.

¹ tn Or “otherwise the latter will trample them under their feet and the former will turn around and tear you to pieces.” This verse is sometimes understood as a chiasm of the pattern a-b-b-a, in which the first and last clauses belong together (“dogs…turn around and tear you to pieces”) and the second and third clauses belong together (“pigs…trample them under their feet”).

² tn Grk “And he said to them.”

³ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate a conclusion and transition in the narrative.
