Some books are best studied verse by verse while others should really be tackled in a topical manner. My own feeling concerning the Book of Proverbs is that a combination of these two approaches is preferable. So below is a suggested outline that also references in the right hand column various posts on this site for useful material to study.
Introductory Topics
The nature of proverbs “Interpreting Biblical Proverbs”
Key words defined
Overall organization of the book “Proverbs: Introduction to the Literary Structure”
Proverbs 1-3: Lady Wisdom and the “Strange” Woman “Proverbs 1-3”
Proverbs by Topic “Proverbs: Main Topics” contains a list of specific passages in Proverbs arranged topically. These could be used as a springboard for group discussion rather than lecture.
The Righteous vs. The Wicked
The Wise vs. The Foolish “Proverbs: The Wise vs. The Foolish”
The Fear of the Lord
The Tongue “Proverbs: Proper Speech”
Disciplining and Living Under Authority
Work and Business Principles
Defending the Underprivileged
Sexual Relationships “Proverbs 5-7”
Other Human Relationships
Wealth and Poverty “Proverbs: Wealth and Poverty”
Proverbs 30:1-31:9 (Agur and Lemuel) “Proverbs 30 and 31:1-9”
Proverbs 31: The Virtuous Woman “Proverbs 31:10-31: The Virtuous Woman”
“Proverbs 31:10-31 Updated”
