This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Such, so secret and undiscernible,
is the way of an adulterous woman; of her who, though she be called and accounted a maid yet in truth is an adulteress: not a common strumpet, for of such the following words are not true, but one that secretly lives in the sin of adultery or fornication.
She eateth, to wit, the bread of deceit in secret, by which is understood the act of filthiness, Pro_9:17 20:17, which such persons do as greedily desire, and as delightfully feed upon, as hungry persons do upon bread. Thus chastely doth the Holy Ghost express the most filthy actions, to teach us to avoid all immodest and obscene speeches as well as actions.
Wipeth her mouth, as a child doth when it hath eaten some forbidden food, and would not be discovered.
Saith, I have done no wickedness; denies the fact, and avoweth her innoceney.
