Correct answer: №2Correct!Educational materials: Matthew's holy gospel, chapter 7Comment:This expression is connected with the Gospel words: "«Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls (church.-slav. - "бисер" means pearls) before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. " (Mt.7:6).
