Matthew 7:6
Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

strains against Matthew 7:6
The pearls-before-swine image is repurposed to describe wasted devotion in a romance, far from its original warning about sacred things and discernment.
