This study focuses on a reading of Proverbs 1-9 as satire via semiotics, which empowers a heightened, poetic sensitivity to multivalent textual signs. These include allusion to two points of critique against Solomon: (1) his political policy of socio-economic injustice and (2) his numerous sexual (in)discretions.
