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!

Remember the priest Pashur who put Jeremiah in stocks. The Passhur that time was the son of Immer. Today it is evidently a different Passhur who visits Jeremiah, the son of Malchiah.

PSALM 148:
The ending psalms just keep getting more and more exuberant in praise!

1CORINTHIANS 4:14—5:
Paul is about to drop a bombshell in chapter 5, and it is good to see the transition from chapter 4.

GNT Translation notes:
Ps. 148:5 Let them all praise [Him//the name of the Lord]! He commanded, and they were created;

11  Let them all praise [Him//the name of the Lord]! His name is greater than all others; his glory is above earth and heaven.
