[.. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost. – 2 Peter 1:20-21 ..]

Moved by the Holy Spirit but the words were the words were the words of instrument(s) he used.. No doubt the prophets had different personalitys and qualia.. The feeling of the scripture they wrote was unique.. as were the gospels.. and letters of Paul.. What a wonderful thing.. that scripture can have "a personality".. Moved to be written by the Holy Spirit but with/a personality of the writer..

Like a painting painted with colors on different types of media.. wood, stone, glass, precious stone or even holographic metaphor(that is a vision).. Never saw theis verse this way before.. thanks..

For me the difference in personality of the prophet and consistency in the Spiritual Truth is quite evident in comparing Psalms to Ecclesiastes.
