Book of Proverbs

Proverbs is one of my favorite books of the bible. While there is mention of Solomon's name in Proverbs 1:1, this does not mean that Solomon was the author. King Solomon was considered a very wise man. It could be that while he didn't write the book, most of the proverbs could be attributed to him.

Proverbs is not a long book, especially when you break it down into its 31 chapters. It is interesting that many months contain 31 days.

Therefore many people read a chapter of proverbs every day. You just look at the calendar to see what chapter you read on any given day.

Since the chapters aren't that long, on months with only 28, 29, or 30 days, you just read the extra chapters at the end of the book.

I prefer to read the King James Version of the bible, when reading Psalms and Proverbs. While some of the other translations are easier to read; the King James has a beauty that really stands out in Psalms and Proverbs.
