In addition to Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and of course the Psalms, I particularly like Sirach and The Wisdom of Solomon as a source of Biblical wisdom.

The latter is particularly remarkable, since the Greek text was compiled from oral traditions about the King and Prophet St. Solomon as recently as 60 BC, during the life of Julius Caesar and the childhood of his nephew and eventual successor Caesar Augustus, in whose reign Christ our True God was born* - and yet this text contains, in Chapter 2, one of the clearest prophecies of the Passion of our Lord in the Old Testament.

So for those seeking the Wisdom of Solomon, I suggest reading this, along with Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and his Song of Songs, the latter of which is appropriate both for appreciating nuptial bliss and also the relationship between Christ and His Church.
