Does each book of the Bible have a spiritual voice?

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?

A good example of emulating a voice that you shouldn’t:

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”
