The term "poureth" is an archaic English verb form often found in older translations of the Bible, such as the King James Version, and is synonymous with "pours" in modern English. It is used to describe the action of pouring out liquids, blessings, or even emotions. In the context of the Bible, "poureth" is frequently associated with God's actions, whether in judgment, blessing, or the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Biblical Usage:

1. Divine Judgment:
The concept of God pouring out His wrath or judgment is a recurring theme in the Scriptures. In the prophetic books, God often "poureth" His indignation upon nations or peoples who have turned away from His commandments. For example, in Ezekiel 22:31 , it is written, "So I have poured out My indignation upon them and consumed them with the fire of My fury. I have brought their ways down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD."

2. Blessings and Provision:
Conversely, "poureth" is also used to describe the abundant blessings and provision that God bestows upon His people. In Malachi 3:10 , the Lord challenges His people to bring the full tithe into the storehouse, promising, "Test Me in this," says the LORD of Hosts. "See if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out for you blessing without measure."

3. Outpouring of the Holy Spirit:
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is a significant event in the New Testament, particularly in the book of Acts. This divine act is often described using the imagery of pouring. In Acts 2:17-18 , Peter quotes the prophet Joel, saying, "‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.’"

4. Emotional Expression:
The Psalms frequently use the term "poureth" to describe the pouring out of one's heart or soul before God, expressing deep emotions such as sorrow, longing, or repentance. Psalm 62:8 encourages believers, "Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah."

Theological Significance:

The use of "poureth" in the Bible underscores the dynamic and relational nature of God's interactions with humanity. Whether in judgment or blessing, the act of pouring signifies a deliberate and purposeful action by God. It reflects His sovereignty, justice, and mercy, as well as His desire to engage with His creation in meaningful ways. The imagery of pouring also highlights the abundance and generosity of God's provision, as well as the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers.

In summary, "poureth" serves as a powerful metaphor in Scripture, illustrating the depth and breadth of God's dealings with His people, from the outpouring of His Spirit to the pouring out of His wrath or blessings.
