Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding. Do not forget, and do not turn aside from the sayings of my mouth.

Acquiring understanding is also essential. Without it, could we really see how facts relate to one another and get the complete picture of a matter under consideration? If we lacked understanding, how could we perceive the whys and wherefores of things and gain insight and discernment? Yes, to be able to put two and two together and come up with the right conclusion, we need understanding.​—Daniel 9:22, 23.
