findeth
Comes upon it
Findeth is an archaic third-person singular form of find, using the old English verb ending -eth.
It appears in the King James Bible and other Early Modern English texts: He that findeth his life shall lose it.
Modern readers encounter it mainly in religious scripture, Shakespeare, or deliberately antiquated prose.
