That the Proverbs were Solomon's (Pro 1:1) 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 (Ecc 12:9). Chapters 25-29 were current in Hezekiah's time (Ecc 25:1). Chapters 30 and 31 are by Agur and Lemuel.\nThe book is in six parts:\n1. To sons (Proverbs 1-7).\n2. The praise of wisdom (Proverbs 8-9).\n3. The folly of sin (Proverbs 10-19).\n4. Warnings and instructions (Proverbs 20-29).\n5. The words of Agur (Proverbs 30).\n6. The words of King Lemuel (Proverbs 31).","title":"The Scofield Bible Commentary: Proverbs: Proverbs Introduction","type":"page"}
