This is the name of a book in the Bible, in the Old Testament. It is not one long story. It is a collection of short, wise sayings — little lines people remember and pass on, about how to live well, how to be honest, how to stay out of trouble, and what happens when you do not.

People have long said King Solomon wrote them. Though actually, many of the sayings may have been gathered over a long time, not all from one person on one day; “Solomon” is the name the tradition puts on the book.

You write it with a capital P when you mean this book. With a small p, proverbs are just wise sayings in general, anywhere, not this one volume. In church, in literature class, and when someone quotes a famous line, they mean the book.

when you mean this book當你指的是這本書的時候，you write it with a capital P會把P寫成大寫。With a small p如果是小寫p，proverbs are just wise sayings in general, anywhereproverbs指的就只是一般的智慧話語，隨處可見，not this one volume不是特指這一本書。In church, in literature class在教會裡、在文學課上，and when someone quotes a famous line還有當有人引用一句名言的時候，they mean the book他們指的就是這本書。
