“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD;”
Jeremiah 23:29
Fire within; fire without. For it is not reading alone that makes a man blessed:
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”
Psalm 1:1-2
