No, that can't be. "Shalt" is only used with "thou" AFAIK, and of course the HCSB doesn't use "thou". Neither does the NIV, but that does use "shall". HCSB doesn't have "shall", it uses "will" instead.

Not to be picky (okay maybe a little picky) but will and shall are not interchangeable. Voice and level of emphasis are different.

WILL verb-transitive
To decide on; choose.
To yearn for; desire: "She makes you will your own destruction” ( George Bernard Shaw).
To decree, dictate, or order.
To resolve with a forceful will; determine.
To induce or try to induce by sheer force of will: We willed the sun to come out.

SHALL auxiliary-verb
Used before a verb in the infinitive to show:
Something that will take place or exist in the future: We shall arrive tomorrow.
Something, such as an order, promise, requirement, or obligation: You shall leave now. He shall answer for his misdeeds. The penalty shall not exceed two years in prison.
The will to do something or have something take place: I shall go out if I feel like it.
Something that is inevitable: That day shall come.
