Every one of the books of the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud was and is important for the Jewish people. Proverbs, for example, which tradition ascribes to King Solomon (Proverbs 1:1), teaches all kinds of good advice, good behavior, circumspect living and avoidance of pitfalls. And each of the hundreds of verses in Proverbs has layers of deeper meaning. For one example: the verses of the "good woman" on the surface are an exhortation to modesty and proper behavior, but on another level they are referring to the wisdom of the Torah. And the verses of the "temptress," which warn us about the wiles of low people, are also hinting against foreign philosophy.
