    Default walketh read as walk [th]?

    Context:

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
    2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
    3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
    4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
    5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
    6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

    Please ask your question more clearly. It's difficult to know what you mean by walketh read as walk [th]?
    If you are asking about the pronunciation of walketh, it's /wɔ:kəθ/
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    Thank you.

    So standeth is pronounced as /stændəθ/ and bringeth as /briŋəθ/ and driveth as /draivəθ/ ?

    That's how I'd pronounce them, if ever I had reason to say the words.

    /'draɪvəθ/
    /'brɪŋəθ/

    with /ɪ/, not /i/.
