JEREMIAH
21-22:
These
verses from Jeremiah 20 have been often quoted as a reason for
memorizing Scripture:
Jer.
20:9 NLT But if I say I’ll never mention the
LORD
or speak in his name,
his
word burns in my heart like a fire.
It’s
like a fire in my bones!
I am
worn out trying to hold it in!
I
can’t do it!
