For 31 chapters of Proverbs, there's really only a handful of messages:
1. Don't be stupid.
2. Don't be evil.
3. Don't be greedy.
4. Don't be cocky.
There's a few others, but those are the biggies.
Though I could have done without all the repetition, I did enjoy all the similes. I know the Psalms gets all the credit for being the poetry of the Bible, but there's some pretty creative figurative language in Proverbs as well. How about this one?
Beauty in a woman without good judgment is like a gold ring in a pig's snout.
And there's some unexpected good advice as well:
Watch out for people who grin and wink at you; they have thought of something evil.
