passeth

Goes by, archaic

Passeth is an archaic form of "passes," using the old English third-person singular ending -eth.

It survives mainly in biblical and liturgical contexts: All is vanity, for this too passeth, The peace of God, which passeth all understanding.

The phrase this too shall pass sometimes appears as this too passeth.
