Jewish tradition is that Proverbs was written with Divine inspiration and contains meanings on many levels. It contains the wisdom of Solomon; much of it couched in parables. One who learns Proverbs with the commentary of the Vilna Gaon, or that of the Malbim, gets a glimpse into the vast depth of this Book.
