Bible Challenge - Proverbs

This week we read the book of Proverbs.

The book is actually made up of several different collections.

One is identified with Solomon (this is about the first 9 chapters).

Chapters 10 - 21 are also identified with Solomon although less convincingly

Chapters 22 & 23 are the "words of the wise"

Chapter 24 is called "sayings of the wise"

Chapter 30 is "the words of Agur"

Chapter 31 contains both "the words of Lemuel" and an acrostic poem on what it means to be a good wife.

The work was edited after the exile but some of them may have been written before the exile (a few, maybe, even by Solomon himself)

This is one of the book that features "Wisdom" personified as a woman.
