Knowledge is anything that can be derived from the contents of a book.
Wisdom is applying that knowledge properly to real-life situations.

Knowledge is something you learn. Wisdom you have or don't. It's sort of like the difference between education & common sense. You can have both, but a lot of people don't. How did I do?

You are standing in the middle of the road and a truck comes careening towards you.
Knowledge tells you that it is a very large truck, capable of mangling you beyond recognition and very likely killing you, besides. Knowledge might clue you in to the weight of the truck and other fascintaing details about the truck.
Wisdom tells you to get the hell out of the road.
Knowledge is all the great stuff you can know. Wisdom is what you do with what you know.

Wisdom is defined as one's use of one's intelligence, creativity, and knowledge for a common good. Knowlege is the remembering of previously learned material.
