Question

Proverbs 30

20 "This is the way of an adulteress:
She eats and wipes her mouth
and says, 'I've done nothing wrong.'

Answer 1

this is an illustration.

It is dual in meaning.
The comparison is of an adulteress as to a spiritual adulteress.
Those that include pagan idolatry's and practices in the true worship God requires are such 'adulteresses'. They say in their mind 'I have done nothing wrong' yet in fact they have added leavening( the Bibles symbol of contamination) to the pure worship of God.
Today the majority of people who think they are Christians are such adulteresses. They participate in the pagan observances of easter, christmas and such, espouse the false teachings of the trinity, immortal soul, predestination, eternal hell,etc. And then refuse to pick up their cross,(figuratively), by complying with Jesus command to 'go therefore and make disciples'.

Answer 2

Well in Proverbs 30:18-20 states, "Three things are too amazing for me there are four things i don't understand. The First is the way of an eagel in the sky. The second is the way of a snake on a rock. The third is the way of a ship on the ocean. The fourth is the way of a man with a young woman.20 "This is the way of an adulteress:
She eats and wipes her mouth
and says, 'I've done nothing wrong.'
Well it would mean that there are women who actually do that, when they go for another guy and just lie to their husband and said that she didn't do anything wrong. but she knew that she did so she sinned.

Answer 3

Proverbs equal to apocrypha.

"The books of the Word are all those which have the internal sense; but those books which have not the internal sense, are not the Word. The books of the Word, in the Old Testament, are the five Books of Moses, the Book of Joshua, the Book of Judges, the two Books of Samuel, the two Books of Kings, the Psalms of David, the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi: and in the New Testament, the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; and the Apocalypse. The rest have not the internal sense" (Arcana Coelestia n. 10325 or Heavenly Doctrine n. 266).

Answer 4

I other words she goes about her life eating and drinking like as if she isn't doing anything wrong.
In Matthew 24:37,38 before the flood people were eating and drinking and marrying. Going about their daily routine as if nothing was wrong. Then the flood came and swept them all away. So it will be in the final days when Jesus comes and destroys the wicked. It says the will be eating and drinking.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, it is just that sin doesn't really bother them. They can sin and it doesn't plague their conscience.

Answer 5

The indifference of an adulteress to the evil of her act. She thinks that because there is no obvious trace in her demeanor of her behavior that therefore there is no wrong in that behavior.

In other words, beware. Just because no one can see your sin, doesn't mean that you didn't commit it and it doesn't mean that you're gonna get away scot free with it either. God knows and God will judge.

Answer 6

Sin hardens the heart. Eventually, since the adultress has no tangible evidence, because she hasn't been caught in the act, she tells herself there is nothing wrong in what she does, that even God isn't watching. Perhaps the beginning of the "new morality"?

Answer 7

I hear that from Christians all the time. They hurt you and then say they did nothing wrong.

Proverbs is a book of wise sayings that teach life lessons. The lesson we can get from this, if we open our eyes, is that if we do wrong in the name of God to accomplish what we feel is God's will, we still do wrong even if we say we do not.

Answer 8

Hmmz.. Tipical adulteress, thats what they would do in real life anyway..

Answer 9

we tend to do our own thing, and then rationalize it as not so bad
or even good... it''s human nature

"all of us like sheep have gone astray each of us have turned to his own way but the Lord has laid the iniquity of us all on Him"
Isaiah 53:6

"...there is a way which is right to a (wo)man but it ends in death..."
Provers

Answer 10

Think of a whore taking a shower afterwards and proclaiming, "I am clean." You have to think of it within the understanding of Jewish culture at the time.
