Lays waste to

Destroyeth is an archaic third-person singular form of destroy, using the -eth ending that was standard in Early Modern English: He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

The form survives mainly in biblical quotations and deliberate archaism.
