God can speak in simple speech:

It is written: "the word of THE LORD came to Elijah, SAYING, “DEPART FROM HERE EASTWARD, AND HIDE BY THE BROOK OF CHERITH" (1 Kings 17:3), to which "Elijah did according to the word of the LORD, and he sat by the brook of Cherith" (1 Kings 17:5).

It is written in Isaiah that "I heard the voice of THE LORD, SAYING, “WHOM SHALL I SEND [...]?”" (Isaiah 6:8), to which Isaiah answered: "I am here, send me" (Isaiah 6:8).

It is written: "Peter (was) pondering about the vision, THE SPIRIT SAID (to) him, “BEHOLD, THREE MEN (ARE) SEEKING YOU" (Acts 10:19), to which "Peter, having-gone-down to the men, said, “Behold, I am (the one) whom you-are-seeking" (Acts 10:21).

God can speak in complex speech:

God can speak in complex speech, as for example He gave complex descriptions for the construction of the tabernacle: "THE LORD spoke to Moses, SAYING" (Exodus 25:1), "[The] length of one curtain [shall be] twenty-eight cubits, and one curtain shall be [the] width of four cubits. The one curtain will be the same measure to all the curtains. And five curtains will be holding to another, and [the other] five curtains will be holding fast the one with the other. And you will make for them loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, on one side for the coupling, and thus you will make on the edge of the outer curtain for the second coupling. Fifty loops you will make for one curtain, and fifty loops will you make on the part of the curtain according to the coupling of the second, opposite [each other], corresponding to each other at each [point]" (Exodus 26:2-5).

God can speak in complex speech, as for example He spoke in cryptic speech to communicate something in Isaiah: "THE LORD MADE AUDIBLE as far as [the] end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion" (Isaiah 62:11), "Who [is] this, the One coming from Edom, [with] redness of clothes from Bosor? Thus fair in apparel, with force of strength? “I speak righteousness and judgment of salvation.” Why [are] Your clothes red, and Your garments as from a trodden winepress? “[I am] full of having been trampled [grapes], and from the nations there is not a man with Me" (Isaiah 63:1-3).

It is written in Zechariah "Thus SAYS THE LORD Almighty [...] I bring out My Servant, Branch. For the stone which I give before [the] face of Joshua, on the one stone are seven eyes; behold, I am digging a pit”" (Zechariah 3:7-9).

It is written in Revelation: "These (things) SAYS THE (ONE) having the sharp double-edged sword" (Revelation 2:12), "(To) the (one) overcoming, I-will-give him (some of) the hidden manna, and I-will-give him (a) white pebble. And having-been-written upon the pebble (is a) new name which no-one knows except the (one) receiving (it)" (Revelation 2:17).
