Prov 9:10, KJV says "that knowledge of the holy is understanding." We understand that God is holy and that knowledge of the ten commandments will help us to be holy. Knowing what is holy and what isn't will help us make good choices.
Ps 49:20, KJV says "man with honor but no understanding is like a beast." Show animals have a lot of honor, but no understanding of what the honor should mean to them. It doesn't matter to them if they win or lose. Trained animals also have no understanding about their honor beyond the immediate reward of food.
A lawyer or doctor may have honor in his field, but if he has no knowledge of the holy, he has no understanding and therefore is no better than a beast.
