What does "Shouldest thou" mean?
Good question. " Thou " in Elizabethan is singular for "you", whereas "ye and you" are addressed to more than one person. That clarity was lost to our contemporary dialect. It's clarified now by context and rules of grammer.

I would paraphrase," Should you help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon you from the LORD."

The context was the King of Judah, Jehosaphat, who befriended and made an alliance with the wicked Kind Ahab of Israel. Ahab hated God's true prophets and consulted his wife's pagan preachers instead. They flattered King Ahab, but God's prophets spoke His Word without fear or sugarcoating.
Jehosaphat was very honorable, but angered God by his affiliation with the Ahab. God hated Ahab and decided that even Jehoshaphat would suffer judgement because of his alliance with an enemy of God.
Sorry I forgot to put the address on. Context starts in 2 Chronicles 18 and my quote was that of God's preacher to King Jehoshaphat in 19:2.

I have no problem with those who have a different opinion to mine concerning Bible interpretation. Few people agree 100%. However, those enemies of God who threatened to destroy my life, falsely accused me of crimes and constantly troll in their attempts to keep me from posting the grace of God, have our Lord to contend with.

We know that we aught to obey God rather than men.
