"ECCLESIASTES; or The Preacher."
"This is the book of man "under the sun", reasoning about life; it is the best man can do, with knowledge that there is a holy God, and that He will bring everythng to judgement. The key phrases are "under the Sun"; "I percieved"; "I said in my heart." (Reference: The Scofield Reference Bible)

The Book of Proverbs (Click here to download or print the lesson)

"This collection of sententious sayings is divine wisdom applied to the earthly conditions of the people of God.  That the Proverbs were Solomon's (Chapter 1 vs 1) implies no more than that he gathered into orderly arrangement sayings already current amongst the people, the wisdom of the Spirit, perhaps through many centuries (Eccl. 12.g)"  (Reference: The Scofield Reverence Bible)
