The #wisdom of #Solomon preserved in the Book of #Proverbs can be found in three sections in the Book of Proverbs.

Proverbs 1:1-9:18 presents wisdom in thematic sections; Proverbs 10:1-22:16 presents wisdom in one-line, emphasizing or contrastive aphorisms; Proverbs 25:1-29:27 represents a collection of Solomon's proverbs made in the days of #Hezekiah.

They all commend righteousness, goodness, and good sense, while critiquing wickedness, folly, and evil.
