Proverbs
31 chapters · 915 verses · Solomon and others · ~950 BC
A father sits his son down and says: "Here is everything I know about how life actually works." Thirty-one chapters of the most practical wisdom ever written.
Overview
Proverbs is not theology — it's street-level wisdom. How to handle money, anger, sex, speech, work, and relationships. Solomon and other sages distill a lifetime of observation into sharp, memorable sayings. The book personifies Wisdom as a woman calling from the streets, and Folly as a seductress leading to death.
