Jeremiah 44:8 (KJV)

Thou and Ye

ye, your, yourselves more than one

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?

Matthew Henry

The Jews in Egypt persist in idolatryGod reminds the Jews of the sins that brought desolations upon Judah. It becomes us to warn men of the danger of sin with all seriousness: Oh, do not do it!...
