Leviticus 26:17 KJV

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

Thou and Ye

  • you, ye, your 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

  • Threatenings against disobedienceAfter God has set the blessing before them which would make them a happy people if they would be obedient, he here sets the curse before them, the evils...
