"That one might gain all the knowlege in the world, at the expense of an ounce of wisdom, is a great tragedy."

Sounds cute, but it's not exactly Proverbs. Scripture does not pit knowledge and Wisdom against each other.

There are three kinds of people- those who can count, and those who can't.

I didn't really get the idea that the author was pitting knowledge against wisdom as much as he was making the point in a round about way that wisdom and knowledge go hand in hand and to have knowledge without wisdom is a tragedy.

I also think that this man was probably not thinking about knowledge of God which is what Proverbs is speaking about. I think he was referring more to earthly knowledge.

I think it might be helpful to specify that I am the author.

Then perhaps knowledge of the world instead of 'in' might clarify that.
