About Book of Proverbs
The Book of Proverbs is a collection of short sayings and longer poems about wisdom, work, family and speech in the Hebrew Bible. Much of it is traditionally credited to King Solomon, though the book itself names other authors, including Agur and King Lemuel, whose mother’s advice fills the last chapter.
