Why study the bible?

Apparent contradictions

Can you reconcile these scriptures?

Ec 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books [there is] no end; and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh.

Ps 119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
Jer 6:10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Study produces maturity

He 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
He 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
He 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
He 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
