Good words in today's chapter! Proverbs 2:2-3 provide names or aspects of the same gift: Wisdom, Understanding, and Intelligence. Verses 10-11 add two more descriptions: Knowledge and Discretion. Wisdom contains a large body of aspects. I am certain more names or descriptions will be revealed in future chapters.
My Bible's introduction to Proverbs, describes the book as, "an anthology of didactic poetry forming part of the sapiential literature of the Old Testament."
