Proverbs as Inspired as Paul?

I am told that the Proverbs were written by Solomon and the implication is that the Proverbs are of mere human origin and that Jesus Himself was silent on the matter of who had the authority in the family, father and mother or the State. And since Jesus was silent on the matter then it seems the default position of familial oversite falls to the State. My answer is simply that I have been under the impression that the Bible was the inspired word of God and that the words in Proverbs were just as inspired as the writings of the Apostle Paul. Was I mistaken? I seem to recall that St Paul himself mentioned this from his prison cell to his disciple Timothy.
