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)
