Elmslie explores the proverb as a form and then the teaching of the Jewish Wisdom writers. After chapters on what proverbs are and how the Jews used them, he follows themes such as friendship, sowing, manners, wealth and folly through the sayings of Proverbs and related books, ending with the great poem asking where Wisdom can be found.
