No, not at all! The verb 'to close', as in 'Please close the door', has a 'z' sound at the end, like 'zoo' and 'zero'. The verb 'to clothe' has a 'th' sound at the end, the same as 'the' and 'this' and 'that'. You make this by putting your tongue between your teeth, pushing out the air, and making a vibrating sound. We don't often use the verb 'clothe', but we do use the word 'clothes' to talk about the things which we wear. This word has the 'th' sound followed a 'z' sound. th + z. Again this is NOT the same as 'close'. The sound is different. Why don't you go to an online dictionary, and look up these words?

It sounds just like I dove (past tense of to dive) into the water. As Su.Ki said, it has a th sound.where close has the s sound.

No. The verb "clothe" is pronounced "kl-oh-th". The "th" is voiced here. The noun "cloth" (the material) is pronounced "kl-o-th". The "th" is unvoiced. The noun "clothes" (what you wear; this word is always plural) is pronounced "kl-oh-thz".
