Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 30 of Proverbs. The section uses numerical lists and riddles to contemplate phenomena that are difficult to trace: the way of the eagle, the serpent, the ship, and a man with a young woman. The wonder of these images leads to a statement about the conduct of the adulterous woman, who can erase the traces of her sin and act as though nothing happened. The wisdom language highlights the mystery and self-deception of unfaithfulness.
