Matthew 2:2-9

2 saying, (A)“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen (B)His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all (C)the chief priests and (D)scribes of the people together, (E)he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
5 So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:
6 ‘But(F) you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a Ruler
(G)Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ”
7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the [a]wise men, determined from them what time the (H)star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”
9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.

New King James Version
45 “Those who fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon
Because of exhaustion.
But (A)a fire shall come out of Heshbon,
A flame from the midst of (B)Sihon,
And (C)shall devour the brow of Moab,
The crown of the head of the sons of tumult.
Isaiah 15-16
New King James Version
Proclamation Against Moab
15 The (A)burden[a] against Moab.
Because in the night (B)Ar of (C)Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,
Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,
2 He has gone up to the [b]temple and Dibon,
To the high places to weep.
Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba;
(D)On all their heads will be baldness,
And every beard cut off.
3 In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth;
On the tops of their houses
And in their streets
Everyone will wail, (E)weeping bitterly.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out,
Their voice shall be heard as far as (F)Jahaz;
Therefore the [c]armed soldiers of Moab will cry out;
His life will be burdensome to him.
5 “My(G) heart will cry out for Moab;
His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
Like [d]a three-year-old heifer.
For (H)by the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction,
6 For the waters (I)of Nimrim will be desolate,
For the green grass has withered away;
The grass fails, there is nothing green.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gained,
And what they have laid up,
They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.
8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.
9 For the waters of [e]Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
(J)Lions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”
Moab Destroyed
16 Send (K)the lamb to the ruler of the land,
(L)From [f]Sela to the wilderness,
To the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 For it shall be as a (M)wandering bird thrown out of the nest;
So shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of the (N)Arnon.
3 “Take counsel, execute judgment;
Make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day;
Hide the outcasts,
Do not betray him who escapes.
4 Let My outcasts dwell with you, O Moab;
Be a shelter to them from the face of the [g]spoiler.
For the extortioner is at an end,
Devastation ceases,
The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5 In mercy (O)the throne will be established;
And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David,
(P)Judging and seeking justice and hastening (Q)righteousness.”
6 We have heard of the (R)pride of Moab—
He is very proud—
Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath;
(S)But his [h]lies shall not be so.
7 Therefore Moab shall (T)wail for Moab;
Everyone shall wail.
For the foundations (U)of Kir Hareseth you shall mourn;
Surely they are stricken.
8 For (V)the fields of Heshbon languish,
And (W)the vine of Sibmah;
The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants,
Which have reached to Jazer
And wandered through the wilderness.
Her branches are stretched out,
They are gone over the (X)sea.
9 Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah,
With the weeping of Jazer;
I will drench you with my tears,
(Y)O Heshbon and Elealeh;
For [i]battle cries have fallen
Over your summer fruits and your harvest.
10 (Z)Gladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease.
11 Therefore (AA)my [j]heart shall resound like a harp for Moab,
And my inner being for [k]Kir Heres.
12 And it shall come to pass,
When it is seen that Moab is weary on (AB)the high place,
That he will come to his sanctuary to pray;
But he will not prevail.
13 This is the word which the Lord has spoken concerning Moab since that time. 14 But now the Lord has spoken, saying, “Within three years, (AC)as the years of a hired man, the glory of Moab will be despised with all that great multitude, and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”
