That would be

>Thou makest me desire to vomit.

similar to the Lord's Prayer

>Thou makest me lay down in green pastures.


The pronouns "thy" and "thine" rhyme with "my" and "mine" because they have the same functions as each other, respectively.

>Thou will drink thy soup and I will drink mine.

A major issue with using King James badly is that it is using King James badly.

There is no internal logic to do so...no reason that an immortal being would use language like that poorly or ironically. When Deadpool does it, it's funny, because you know he knows they know he knows.

This is a writing focused subReddit. The assumption is that people want to improve their writing.

If it was not useful to you, that's fine. Other writers may appreciate the tip, and still others may disagree.

All advice is offered without warranty and without obligation. Ignore it with my blessing.
