What are the 5 wisdom books?

The five "Wisdom Books" in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) are:

1. Proverbs: A collection of wise sayings, instructions, and parables offering practical advice for life.

2. Job: A poetic dialogue exploring the themes of suffering, justice, and the nature of God.

3. Psalms: A collection of poetic prayers, hymns, and reflections on God, humanity, and life.

4. Ecclesiastes: An exploration of the meaninglessness of life and the pursuit of pleasure, ultimately advocating for a focus on wisdom and living in the present.

5. Song of Songs: A collection of love poems celebrating the beauty and joy of romantic love.

It's important to note that "Wisdom Literature" is a broader category that includes other books like the Book of Sirach and the Wisdom of Solomon, found in some Christian canons but not in the Hebrew Bible.
