Summary/Abstract: Proverbs are the most known manifestations of popular wisdom. Barely distinguished from maxims and often referred to as popular sayings, the proverbs are meaningful adages which display the manner of being or thinking of a people, the quintessence of expressing a long experience. They express generally human truths noticed in a certain situation, but which can be repeated, thus functioning as examples or parables. Proverbs represent a gift of divine wisdom sown in humans since the creation, and that is why the book “The Proverbs of Solomon” occupies a place of honour among the sapiential books of the Holy Scripture
