Great question, and great answer to it testallthings.

Your question caused me to to a do a word search and go through many of the verses you cited.

From that search I can add:

Scripture should be with us, and we should read it all the days of our life, that we may learn to fear the Lord our God. (Deut. 17:19; Matt 7:26)

We should hear God's word, and be careful to do it (Deut. 12:32, 17:19; James 1:22-25)

The man of God should devote himself to the public reading of scripture, to exhortation, and teaching. (1 Tim 4:13)

We should assemble people to listen to the words of God, and encourage one another to love and good works (Deut. 31:12, 28; Jeremiah 26:2; Heb. 10:25)

The Lord sent His prophets to speak God's words (Jer. 26:15)

We should diligently listen the voice of the Lord our God, and do that which is right in his eyes, give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes with all our hearts and souls. (Exodus 15:26, Deut. 26:16)

God loves and blesses those who keep his commandments and curses those who don't. (Exodus 20:6, Deut. 4:40 & 28:1-68; Rev. 22:6)

We shouldn't add to God's word nor take away from it. (Deut. 4:2, Proverbs 30:6, Rev. 22:18)

God raised up Jesus to be the prophet promised by Moses that God would put His own words in his mouth. (Deut. 18:18, John 14:10)

God's word will be performed, and his words in the Old Testament were fulfilled in Jesus. (Ezek. 12:28, Luke 22:37, 24:27)

Jesus opens up the scriptures to his disciples, makes their hearts burn within themselves, and opens their minds to them. (Luke 24:32, 45)

The scriptures bear witness of Jesus, including that he must rise from the dead. (John 5:39; 20:9)

Scripture cannot be broken. (John 10:35)

The apostles imparted words not taught in human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. (1 Cor. 2:13)

We were sealed with the Holy Spirit when we heard the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation. (Eph. 1:13).

The word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrew 4:12)

We should not lightly regard the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by Him. (Heb. 12:5)

The apostles were from God. Whoever knows God listens to them ; whoever is not from God does not listen to them. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. (1 John 4:6)

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. (1 John 5:1-3)
