Have you ever known a person and considered them 'wise' ... and found them to be without compassion? ... or not?

Oh yes.
I would much rather spend my time with someone compassionate instead of wise.

Compassion IS part of wisdom- can you you really be wise without having compassion for others?

Wisdom and understanding go hand-in-hand.
Compassion as humans define it can be a pitfall.
Sometimes the wisest path to take is away from one that begs for compassion.
Proverbs 14:16
" A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident."

Compassion is part of wisdom, so there is no wisdom without compassion.
That's why I'm 'Wise Heart' and You'll not be wise if you didn't give me the best answer.

I have never met one but, compassion takes wisdom. sometimes what we see as a need to fulfill is not our job to do or the right time to move on it

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Yes and I try to pray for them rather then focus on their faults because it doesn't help me or them.
