Okay, I'll say this about Proverbs and no more. The only sense in which Proverbs can be considered "scriptural" is in that it appears in the Old Testament. It's neither Torah nor Divine prophesy. All it is is the "cultural wisdom" of a bunch of semi-nomadic pastoralists from about 3,000 years ago.
Proverbs is usually attributed to Solomon. Sometimes there are other names cited but many scholars think they may just be other names for Solomon. (That happens a lot in ancient writings.) In any event, Solomon was, as you must know, a king, the secular leader of his people. He wasn't a rabbi and he wasn't a prophet, just the "top guy" for a period in the history of the tribe.
Parenthetically, he was also a serious womanizer.
