6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.
This gives a clear distinction between human knowledge and Godly wisdom. Information can be helpful, but wisdom comes from the mouth of God. In the past this has meant through his prophets (like Solomon here) and now it means from his word, the Bible. Though this wisdom cannot be seen, it can be stored up much like a tangible good. Most comfortingly, we are given an assurance that believers will be protected. It is not by our own strength that we will survive (1 Samuel 2:9).
