Wisdom and Knowledge

Proverbs 2: 20-22

20 Thus you will walk in the ways of the good 
   and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land,
   and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
   and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

Our lesson in youth was on wisdom today. Wisdom and knowledge. He quoted Proverbs 2: 18-20 I believe, but I may be mistaken.
