Proverbs is full of wisdom regarding family and self improvement. Wisdom that actually will benefit any person.
Where does this wisdom come from and could it be compared to other religious wisdom or is the wisdom in the bible superior and therefore evidence of inspiration of a higher intelligence?

I have seen the wisdom of the Bible compared with what we Christians would call 'secular' wisdom without there always being a large amout of disparity.
But what I find that other literature does is place values in the wrong place. They invaribly tend towards humanism in the secular set of values. The Biblical literature seems to place God's view first, as in being the most important.

Experience through time.
There is superior wisdom. That's the wisdom supported by facts and evidence, because this kind of wisdom can actually be used to improve or change situations.

The bible itself speaks of the wisdom within it, as given, for example, to Solomon: it was an answer to prayer, and spoke to him, literally.
Consider alternately, the problematic "wisdom" desired by the woman in the garden of eden...this may be the entire "other religious wisdom" you mention.

The word of God is the inspiration of God is the Holy Spirit therefore God gives us Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understandind of his word to live by, the understanding of God which is the higher intelligence.

this is super, yet are you able to tell me what 'awareness' certainly is? I even have been searching for a passable definition for a whilst. Socrates' theory of an information that mankind (and the guy) knows almost no longer something resonates on various ranges, and Bertrand Russell's holistic attitude to ethics seems exceptionally sound. what's God's theory of awareness?

Ecclesiastes (Qoh) 2:26
For to the man who pleases him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; ...
I have studied many non Christian books and teachings and though there is knowledge and similarity they cannot touch the depth of wisdom God gives through the bible .

I see Proverbs as a collection of Jewish folk wisdom. It's like "A penny saved is a penny earned," from the perspective of the Hebrew/Jewish people of the time.

The wisdom of the Bible comes from God.
there are three kinds of wisdom, if I remember well: God's wisdom, a world's wisdom, devil's wisdom...which one do we have?

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

The bible is a work of fiction. It's evidence of a bunch of badly edited stories.
