Wisdom and Understanding (Proverbs 19:8)

The Bible encourages to do things that are beneficial for our well being.

"He who gains Wisdom loves his own life; he who keeps understanding shall prosper and find good." Proverbs 19:8, Amplified

The getting of wisdom is never going to be detrimental to our well being. Wisdom is basically a application of acquired knowledge. Notice the transition, though. first there is the gaining of wisdom then there is the keeping of understanding. We must first gain wisdom in order to keep the understanding brought forth through that wisdom.
