She eats and wipes her mouth,
and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’

Proverbs 30:20 in context
Proverbs 30:17–23
17
“The eye that mocks at his father,
and scorns obedience to his mother,
the ravens of the valley shall pick it out,
the young eagles shall eat it.
18
“There are three things which are too amazing for me,
four which I don’t understand:
19
The way of an eagle in the air,
the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship in the middle of the sea,
and the way of a man with a maiden.

Selected verse
“So is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth,
and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’
21
“For three things the earth trembles,
and under four, it can’t bear up:
22
For a servant when he is king,
a fool when he is filled with food,
23
for an unloved woman when she is married,
and a servant who is heir to her mistress.
