Isaiah 7:11 KJV

Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

Thou and Ye

  • thee, thy one person

In the King James Bible, thee, thou, thy, and thine always mean one person, and ye, you, and your more than one: a difference modern English lost. Why keep these words?
