directeth
Points the way
Directeth is an archaic form of directs, using the -eth suffix that marked third-person singular verbs in Early Modern English.
It appears in the King James Bible and other period texts: The LORD directeth his steps.
Modern readers encounter it mainly in religious or deliberately antiquated contexts.
