Notes

Saying 24: A wise person stays calm and strong when stressed (for example, Daniel 1:8–16; 3:1–18).

This section is attributed to a group known as the wise, but their identity is unknown. There is a mention of thirty sayings (Proverbs 22:20). The wisdom sayings that follow can be divided into thirty sections. These sections are similar to an Egyptian work called the Instruction of Amenemope, which is also divided into thirty chapters.
