Thread: Any Resources that Break down all the Proverbs Categories?

I'm looking for something that breaks down all the different aphorisms in the Proverbs by listing the category and then the verses that speak to it. The Proverbs talks about fools, debt, sloth, industry, nagging wives, etc but the verses are spread all over the place. Do you know of anything that rolls up all the verses for each of the ideas?

Here's something you could check out...

http://www.letgodbetrue.com/proverbs/proverb-topics.php

There is a concordance in the back of Kidner's commentary, and some thematic studies to point out how it is done. But the link Mark posted seems more complete to me.

Thanks Mark. Found another site here:

http://www.knowgrace.org/proverbs/proverbs.html

Nice web sites. Also, Stephen Voorwinde's book: Wisdom for Today's Issues, P&R. Here it is:
http://www.graceandtruthbooks.com/li...&RP=/proverbs/

Also, Matthew Henry's magnificent commentary on the Proverbs offers 77 heads at the very end.
Enjoy,

Actually, the Matthew Henry "rollup" is most ideal so far!
