Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares.
She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city,
she speaks her words: “How long, you simple (naive) ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge. Proverbs 1:20-22

The wisdom of God is like the spring air blowing throughout the land, available to those who belong to Him to utilize in their spiritual walk. The word says, 'If anyone lacks wisdom, let them ask.'
Wisdom and knowledge, both recurring themes in the Bible, are related but not synonymous. The dictionary defines wisdom as “the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting.” Knowledge, on the other hand, is “information gained through experience, reasoning, or acquaintance.” Knowledge can exist without wisdom, but not the other way around. One can be knowledgeable without being wise.
We can be wise by honing our thoughts and using our words to edify and bless those who hear us, but sometimes, we can be counted wise by keeping our mouths shut!
Turn at my rebuke; surely, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make my words known to you. Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no one regarded, because you disdained all my counsel, and would have none of my rebuke. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, when your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Proverbs 1:23-27
