7: And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
7: And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.
7: And the swine, because this [animal] divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
book of Leviticus, chapter 11, v. 8
http://www.biblewiki.be/wiki/Leviticus_Chapter_11,_Verse_8
8: Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
8: The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
8: Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you
Deuteronomy 14:7-8

7 However, of those that chew the cud or that have a divided hoof you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the hyrax. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you. 8 The pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.
Isaiah 65:2-4

2 All day long I have held out my hands
to an obstinate people,
who walk in ways not good,
pursuing their own imaginations—
3 a people who continually provoke me
to my very face,
offering sacrifices in gardens
and burning incense on altars of brick;
4 who sit among the graves
and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,
and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
Isaiah 66:17
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah 66:17&version=NIV
17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things—they will meet their end together with the one they follow,” declares the LORD.
