Which part is believed to be collected and compiled, not written by Solomon?

• A. Sayings of the Wise
• B. Sayings of Solomon
• C. Proverbs of Hezekiah
• D. Instructions of Moses

Answer: (A)

In Hebrew Wisdom literature, some sections are tied to Solomon, while others come from later editors who gathered sayings from various sources. The part that is understood as a collection put together from multiple sages rather than written by Solomon himself is the Sayings of the Wise. The wording signals an editorial compilation: it presents wisdom from different voices and traditions, assembled to form a coherent collection. This contrasts with the proverbs explicitly attributed to Solomon, which carry his authorial voice, and with the portion that is described as copied by the men of Hezekiah, which is still linked to Solomon but through later transmission. So, the Sayings of the Wise is the section viewed as a compilation created by editors, not authored by Solomon.
