This book is so called, because it consists of wise and weighty sentences: regulating the morals of men: and directing them to wisdom and virtue. And these sentences are also called Parables, because great truths are often couched in them under certain figures and similitudes. (For more information, see the article [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12505b.htm BOOK OF PROVERBS] in the Catholic Encyclopedia.)[http://www.newadvent.org/bible/pro000.htm]
