Why are the words "thou" & "ye" important? Because "thou, thee, & thine" talk to+refer to 1 person/entity.
Meanwhile, the "ye, you, your, yours" are for 2 or more people/entities
Example: When Jesus spoke with Nicodemus, he said:
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:7 KJB
Jesus told Nicodemus ("thee") that everyone ("ye") must be born again
By removing words like "thee, thou, thyself, thine, ye",
modern versions (ESV, NASB, NIV, NLT, etc) make it harder for people to discern+know whether God, the people in the Old and New Testaments, & the Bible's books' writers were talking to 1 person/entity (singular word) or to 2 or more people/entities (plural word)
Another effect is the modern versions take away the true meaning out of verses like John 3:7. In John 3:7, the modern versions remove thee, thou, & ye, thus preventing readers from seeing Jesus was saying to Nicodemus (thee) that "ye" (everybody) must be born again. Stick with the King James Bible!
