We all desire wisdom and we imagine it to be the ability to handle things shrewdly. Which is true in a sense but not altogether.
Proverbs 9:8 Rrprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Vs. 10. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding.
So wisdom is more the condition of the heart. If our heart is right then out of our mouth will flow the correct utterance and the Lord will see to it that it is His words and it will accomplish more than we know. When it is later reflected on it will probably even amaze the speaker.
How wise/wonderful is that?
