speaketh

Says in scripture

Speaketh is an archaic third-person singular form of speak, from Early Modern English when verbs took the suffix -eth: Money speaketh.

It survives in biblical quotations and deliberate archaism, often for humorous or mock-solemn effect: The boss hath spoken, and what he speaketh is law.
