Apr 24, 2017 at 1:06 comment added David Kenner @mevaqesh I do not believe that Malbim to Jer. 3:8 says that נאף can apply to relations in general that are sinful for non-adulterous reasons (ie. incest etc.). Regardless, I just looked up the Malbim on Proverbs 30 in both his commentary and Be'ur HaMilim, and edited my answer accordingly. Thank you for helping to direct my research for a source. :)

Apr 24, 2017 at 0:22 comment added mevaqesh Even if we accept your assumption (that is sadly not backed up with any commentaries) that v. 20 refers to the same woman as the previous verse, the proof depends on v. 20 referring to a married woman. This too is questionable, as the term נאף does not seem to necessarily refer exclusively to relations with a married woman, but to relations in general; particularly forbidden ones; cf. Malbim Be'ur HaMilim to Yirmiya (3:8).
