ANSWER:

The English language continuously changes. Some words have disappeared or hardly been used in Modern English era. “Thou” and “ye”, and now even “shall” are among them. Unless you study English literature, you should put your priority and efforts in improving what will be required today, such as in finding a job, in getting a scholarship, or in making personal communications, etc.
Since you asked, however, “thou” is a subject pronoun for singular second person. Its object pronoun is “thee”. Now, the word used to replace “thou” and “thee” is “you”. “Ye” is a subject pronoun for plural second person. Its object pronoun is “you”. Now, the word used to replace “ye” is “you”, while its object pronoun remains the same, “you”. These pronouns can be seen more clearly in the following image.
