 Bible Survey: The Book of Proverbs
Proverbs 30:1-33 was written by Agur, who is otherwise unknown in scripture.
Therefore, he concludes, that since the legend of Solomon's wisdom is not true, the book of Proverbs cannot be Solomon's.

 Book of Proverbs
The Book of Proverbs, in the Old Testament of the Bible, is a grouping of wisdom sayings and longer, connected poems composed from the 10th to the 4th century BC and finally collected about 300 BC.
In Solomon's day there was a class of leaders in the eastern nations known as "teachers of wisdom," of which he was the most conspicuous; a supposition which gives countenance to the thought that the address, "My son," is not that of a father to a child, but a teacher to a pupil.
The whole strength of the Hebrew language and of the sacred authority of the book is thrown upon these homely truths.

 Book of Proverbs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jewish tradition attributes the entire book to "the men of Hezekiah", as attested by the word "too" in the verse, "these too are the proverbs of Solomon which" etc. (25:1).
The tradition ascribing some proverbs to Solomon, described as "without valid foundation" in the Jewish Encyclopedia, 1901-06, continued nevertheless to be uncritically accepted among many Christians, who aver that Solomon is said to have written three thousand proverbs, and those contained in this book may be a selection from these (1 Kings 4:32).
In the New Testament there are thirty-five direct quotations from this book or allusions to it.

 THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS
For example, Proverbs 10:27 says: "The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
Parallelism is most evident in the couplet, as in Proverbs 1:7, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Jewish poetry uses comparison and contrast, juxtaposition and amplification.
The fear of the LORD does not mean the terror over a vengeful God, but means reverence for Jehovah, the self-existent one.

 USCCB - NAB - Proverbs - Introduction
The teaching of the entire book is placed on a firm religious foundation by the principle that "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverb 1:7; cf Proverb 9:10).
To Solomon are explicitly ascribed parts II and V of the book; he is the patron of Hebrew wisdom.
