[edit] Information

The Book of Proverbs is commonly divided into three sections:

1. ch. 1 – 9, which contain an exhibition of wisdom as the highest good.
2. ch. 10 – 24, a collection of "the proverbs of Solomon"
3. ch. 25 – 29, another collection of "proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied"

These are followed by three supplements

1. "The words of Agur" (ch. 30); and
2. "The words to king Lemuel" (ch. 31,1–9).
3. The praise of the good wife (ch. 31,10–31)
