Well for one knowledge may have no practical application. In most cases wisdom is knowing how to practically apply knowledge.

Knowledge is the facts and figures that you have gainud from education and living.
Wisdom is knowledge guided by understanding. The fear of the Lord is wisdom.
Psalms 19:9 - The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
Psalms 111:10 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 8:13 - The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs 9:10 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 10:27 - The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

Knowledge is what is known. Like the related concepts truth, belief, and wisdom, there is no single definition of knowledge on which scholars agree, but rather numerous theories and continued debate about the nature of knowledge.
Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association, and reasoning. The term knowledge is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject, potentially with the ability to use it for a specific purpose.
Wisdom is the ability, developed through experience, insight and reflection, to discern truth and exercise good judgment. Wisdom is sometimes conceptualized as an especially well developed form of common sense.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, wisdom is defined as the "1 a: Accumulated philosophic or scientific learning-knowledge; b: Ability to discern inner qualities and relationships-insight; c: Good sense-judgment d: Generally accepted belief
Most psychologists regard wisdom as distinct from the cognitive abilities measured by standardized intelligence tests. Wisdom is often considered to be a trait that can be developed by experience, but not taught. When applied to practical matters, the term wisdom is synonymous with prudence. Some see wisdom as a quality that even a child, otherwise immature, may possess independent of experience or complete knowledge.The status of wisdom or prudence as a virtue is recognized in cultural, philosophical and religious sources. Some define wisdom in a utilitarian sense, as foreseeing consequences and acting to maximize the long-term common good.
As such, applications of personal wisdom would include his/her ethical and social guidelines in life that determines one’s unique style of personality, the particular nature of short and long-term goal(s) pursued in life(spiritual or materialistic for example), perspective on life, social attitudes, etc.

"The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" Proverbs 1:7
And some translations say "knowledge" in place of wisdom.
Anyone can have knowledge in this world, but the knowledge of the Lord is what is important. The wisdom of God is what matters most.

Knowledge is what comes from text books. Wisdom comes from life experiences.

Having knowledge means you're book smart.
Having wisdom means you know how to apply that knowledge in the real world.

Knowledge is information and facts. Wisdom is application.
If you do not have all the facts, but still can figure out what to do, that is wisdom.

Wisdom comes with age and life, knowledge comes from college and books

One is "Wise" when one has understanding of the "knowledge" one has acquired.
First is True Humility.
Second is Silence for when one is humble, they know to be silent and Listen.
When we Listen (which is third) we learn (so learning is fourth).
After we learn, we study that which we have learned.
Study is the fifth thing which is followed by knowledge.
The application of said knowledge leads to Understanding.
Understanding is where Wisdom comes from.
Wisdom makes one humble.
