Proverbs 8 is an excellent chapter regarding wisdom. Jesus said in John 14:6,"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the father but by me." He is truth. He is wisdom. If you want wisdom, ask our Father! Christ is so gracious to answer our prayers!
Others here have given you some lovely Scriptures on Wisdom & advice. However, I suspect that you might be thinking of a biblical book that is not found in the KJV Bible. This would be the Wisdom of Solomon which is what is considered an Apocryphal Book, i.e. a book (of which there are many) that was deemed unworthy to be included in the canon of Scripture.
If you need to look at this book, then this Website provides it (& others), under the Tab "More" and then click on 'Standard KJB Apocrypha'. These apocryphal books did not meet the standards set by those who formed the Canon of Scripture & even the Jews, though accepting of many of their written & oral traditions, held doubts over these apocryphal (= hidden) books as authoritative.
Wisdom's Call: Proverbs chapter 8.
Proverbs 8:1-4
1.Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2.She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3.She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4.Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man....
Proverbs 8:22-36
22.The Lord possessed me (Wisdom) in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23.I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24.When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25.Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26.While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27.When he prepared the heavens I was there: when he set a compass on the face of the depth:
28.When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29.When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment:
when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30.Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31.Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32.Now therefore hearken unto me O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my my ways.
33.Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
34.Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35.For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
36.But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Proverbs 8 explains wisdom: Read it in the light that Jesus Christ IS WISDOM and it will have a lot more meaning.

James 1:5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
