Such is the way of an adulterous woman. She eats and wipes her mouth, and says: I have done no wickedness. read more.
Under three things the earth is disquieted, and for four it cannot bear: For a servant when he reigns; and a fool when he is filled with food; For a detestable woman when she is married; and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
