Wisdom literature found in the Bible
The Poetic Books , also called the Sapiential Books , are a division of the Christian Bible grouping 5 or 7 books (depending on the canon) in the Old Testament .[1] The term "Sapiential Books" refers to the same set, although not all the Psalms are usually regarded as belonging to the Wisdom tradition .[2]
In terms of the Tanakh , it includes the three poetic books of Ketuvim , as well as Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs from the Five Megillot . Wisdom and Sirach are also part of the Poetic Books, but aren't part of the Hebrew Bible, and are seen by Protestant Christians as apocryphal , for which reason they are excluded from Protestant Bibles .
