You have the expression wrong. It's "Cast pearls before swine."
That means, don't waste good stuff on people who cannot appreciate it.

It's from the Bible, and it is "cast pearls before swine," not peril. It's a way of saying don't waste good by throwing it out to bad.

Jesus said it: I will not cast pearls before swine", which means I will not spread the gospel to those who do not deserve it.

Pearls. It's "Pearls Before Swine" It means that you shouldn't give goodies to to entities that can neither recognize or appreciate them.

Pearls before swine is just a nicer way of saying, "anyone who doesn't accept my rediculous religious nonsense is a pig".

It means Jesus withheld his doctrine from Christians and made them follow Pauline doctrine.
