The genre of Proverbs is mainly "Proverbs" as the name describes, there are also some Parables and Poetry. It was written during Solomon’s reign 970-930 B.C. This book was written mainly by Solomon, the wisest king ever to rule, however some of the later sections are written by Lemuel and Agur.
Proverbs are short clever explanations, which are easy to remember. He asked God for wisdom to rule God’s nation and He granted the request.The main purpose of this book is to teach wisdom to God’s people. They contain truisms.
These are things which are typically true however, not always. For example, "He who tills his land will have plenty of bread" (12:11), it is typically true that one who works his land will have bread but it is not a guarantee to always be true. They deal with life, principles, good judgment, and perception.
They often draw distinctions between a wise man and a foolish man with parable type examples.
