The coastlands He will fully repay.

I said that your yea was to be yea and your nay, nay (yes or no).

I would caution this one who aspires to the gift of prophecy to avoid trying to "sound" like an Old Testament prophet. In its attempt to sound that way, it also opens itself to the accusation that it is contrived. (That is the same accusation leveled against Joseph Smith's contrived use of King James English in his little transcript.)

Prophets are subject to prophets.

Depends.

Not my favorite, for sure to use KJV English.

But some folks use KJV English as their kind of spiritual language. I over look it unless it's excessive.

Exactly, all that was needed was, ‘Lilith has found rest here.’
