If you are referring where the Spirit "goes where it listeth". It means wills or desires. In my opinion, the verse means that you can control the Spirit of God about as well as you can control the wind.

John 3:8

G2309
θέλω, ἐθέλω
thelō ethelō
thel'-o, eth-el'-o
Either the first or the second form may be used. In certain tenses θελέω theleō thel-eh'-o (and ἐθέλέω etheleō eth-el-eh'-o) are used, which are otherwise obsolete; apparently strengthened from the alternate form of G138; to determine (as an active voice option from subjective impulse; whereas G1014 properly denotes rather a passive voice acquiescence in objective considerations), that is, choose or prefer (literally or figuratively); by implication to wish, that is, be inclined to (sometimes adverbially gladly); impersonally for the future tense, to be about to; by Hebraism to delight in: - desire, be disposed (forward), intend, list, love, mean, please, have rather, (be) will (have, -ling, -ling [ly]).

James 3:4

G1014
βούλομαι
boulomai
boo'-lom-ahee
Middle voice of a primary verb; to “will”, that is, (reflexively) be willing: - be disposed, minded, intend, list (be, of own) will (-ing). Compare G2309.

In middle English, "-eth" was added to the end of present tense verbs when used with third person pronouns. In modern English, we use "-s".

taketh -> takes
endeth -> ends
etc.

The King James Bile - oops, bible - was written in middle-late English.

What chapter and verse?
Maybe it means leaning to one side, like a boat.
