Is it acceptable for a non Jew to quote the bible in Hebrew?

Hello Shalom and Chag Sameach in advance

I am not Jewish and not a believer but quite self sufficient in Biblical Hebrew and read the weekly portions so have become familiar with the Miqra

Sometimes on the internet I would copy paste a section respectfully. The reaction has ranged from approval (secular Israeli forum) to radio silence (conservative leaning Israeli forum) so I thought I better check

One recent example someone mentioned the story of pesach in a podcast referencing current events. To show support I quoted שמות הי א with a yellow ribbon

I find the passage moving in Hebrew. Particularly the way my favoured reader of the Sephardic nusach renders it.

I don’t know his name but his voice recordings are on the Machon Memre website and the Tanakh Read Along app

Thank you
