In every book of scripture, is there a voice that came from the Holy Spirit, a voice we would do well not to emulate, or did they come from the authors and translators? If the sound of all books in the Bible came truly from the Holy Spirit, how far should we go in shunning to emulate its sound? Is lyrical prose a sin? And is it more sinful the more that its sound resembles the sound of scripture?

Does each book of the Bible have a spiritual voice?

A good example of emulating a voice that you shouldn’t:
The Sound of the Trumpet of God Cannot be Ignored
Whoever hears the sound of the trumpet but does not take warning, his blood shall be upon his head. But he who takes warning will save his life. Any moderator dumb enough to challenge the voice of God, dares to delete this message, tries to hinder it in any way, or even so much as ignore it...

Are you saying is that the sin is making threats or merely emulating the prose styles in the Bible?
In the past several years, I have not wanted to emulate the particular prose styles of the Bible, but to create my own prose styles with a musical quality, which the KJV has, and to create a variety of such styles, using different ones in different works.

The poster, who has been removed, was pronouncing judgement on everyone on the BB. They were speaking their mind and declaring it to be direct revelation from God.
It happened right after you last posted so I thought of it right away.
It is never a good idea to pretend to be God or presumptuously speak for Him.
1st Corinthians Chapter 2
12 | But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God. |
Without His spirit within us, scripture is just inanimate letters on paper.
....but, when His spirit is present:
Psalms Chapter 119
162 | I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil. |
Books of the Bible are written in different genre (its a Kentucky term).
Example: We do not read Romans the same as Psalms, so yes, in that vein there is a “different voice”

Well, I don't want to pretend to be God, or to claim to have a direct revelation from Him. I would, however, like to write in prose styles derivative of books in the Bible.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery. It is a compliment.
Imitation is how the student learns. Painters copy masters. They do it to learn technique. It is a form of study.

"Genre" isn't particularly a Kentucky term. It's used here in the UK to mean a particular type of literature, song, or whatever. What do the other states apart from Kentucky use instead of "genre?"
It’s meant as a joke
People here in the US make fun of Kentuckians all of the time
Me too
I am from there

Sorry I didn't get the joke. I can only plead that not being American, I had never heard of making particular fun of people from Kentucky.
It’s a thing. Trust me
Every book is inspired, but the voice of each book is that of the human authors. What do you mean by "emulating its sound?"
LOL
I almost responded and said:
Genre is a Kentucky word.
We have a similar word with the same definition pronounced “genre.”
They sound totally different but mean the same thing.
Now I wish I had responded.
trying to create a piece of writing with the same kind of sound
Do you mean early modern English? How could that possibly be a sin? Is king Author a sin? Is Shakespeare a sin? The King James Version was written in Early Modern English. Or Archaic Modern English. All of the Older Bibles were. William Tyndales Bible was early Modern English.

Examples of Early Modern English literature include Shakespeare's plays like Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet, Spenser's The Faerie Queene, and Milton's Paradise Lost. Other representative works are the King James Bible, Donne's metaphysical poems, and philosophical texts like Hobbes's Leviathan. This period saw the transition from medieval to modern forms, with epic poems and verse dramas giving way to early novels and the development of prose narratives.

I'm talking about the voice of each book in the KJV, which seems to be created by cadence.
