earth, birth, berth and worth all end in /ɜːθ/, which matches the stressed syllable of earthly /ˈɜːθli/, but because earthly adds /li/, none of them rhymes with the whole word. earthy /ˈɜːθi/ and early /ˈɜːli/ are useful lookalikes: earthy has the same first syllable but no /l/, while early has /l/ but no /θ/.
