Isaiah 15:1-16:14
This message came to me concerning Moab: In one night the town of Ar will be leveled, and the city of Kir will be destroyed.Your people will go to their temple in Dibon to mourn. They will go to their sacred shrines to weep. They will wail for the fate of Nebo and Medeba, shaving their heads in sorrow and cutting off their beards.They will wear burlap as they wander the streets. From every home and public square will come the sound of wailing.The people of Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out; their voices will be heard as far away as Jahaz! The bravest warriors of Moab will cry out in utter terror. They will be helpless with fear.My heart weeps for Moab. Its people flee to Zoar and Eglath shelishiyah. Weeping, they climb the road to Luhith. Their cries of distress can be heard all along the road to Horonaim.Even the waters of Nimrim are dried up! The grassy banks are scorched. The tender plants are gone; nothing green remains.The people grab their possessions and carry them across the Ravine of Willows.A cry of distress echoes through the land of Moab from one end to the other— from Eglaim to Beer elim.The stream near Dibon runs red with blood, but I am still not finished with Dibon! Lions will hunt down the survivors— both those who try to escape and those who remain behind.Send lambs from Sela as tribute to the ruler of the land. Send them through the desert to the mountain of beautiful Zion.The women of Moab are left like homeless birds at the shallow crossings of the Arnon River.“ Help us,” they cry.“ Defend us against our enemies. Protect us from their relentless attack. Do not betray us now that we have escaped.Let our refugees stay among you. Hide them from our enemies until the terror is past.” When oppression and destruction have ended and enemy raiders have disappeared,then God will establish one of David’s descendants as king. He will rule with mercy and truth. He will always do what is just and be eager to do what is right.We have heard about proud Moab— about its pride and arrogance and rage. But all that boasting has disappeared.The entire land of Moab weeps. Yes, everyone in Moab mourns for the cakes of raisins from Kir hareseth. They are all gone now.The farms of Heshbon are abandoned; the vineyards at Sibmah are deserted. The rulers of the nations have broken down Moab— that beautiful grapevine. Its tendrils spread north as far as the town of Jazer and trailed eastward into the wilderness. Its shoots reached so far west that they crossed over the Dead Sea.So now I weep for Jazer and the vineyards of Sibmah; my tears will flow for Heshbon and Elealeh. There are no more shouts of joy over your summer fruits and harvest.Gone now is the gladness, gone the joy of harvest. There will be no singing in the vineyards, no more happy shouts, no treading of grapes in the winepresses. I have ended all their harvest joys.My heart’s cry for Moab is like a lament on a harp. I am filled with anguish for Kir hareseth.The people of Moab will worship at their pagan shrines, but it will do them no good. They will cry to the gods in their temples, but no one will be able to save them.The Lord has already said these things about Moab in the past.But now the Lord says,“ Within three years, counting each day, the glory of Moab will be ended. From its great population, only a feeble few will be left alive.”

So there was great anger against Israel, and the Israelites withdrew and returned to their own land.

May he reign from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.Desert nomads will bow before him; his enemies will fall before him in the dust.The western kings of Tarshish and other distant lands will bring him tribute. The eastern kings of Sheba and Seba will bring him gifts.All kings will bow before him, and all nations will serve him.

Matthew 2:2-9
“ Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”King Herod was deeply disturbed when he heard this, as was everyone in Jerusalem.He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked,“ Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?”“ In Bethlehem in Judea,” they said,“ for this is what the prophet wrote:‘ And you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, are not least among the ruling cities of Judah, for a ruler will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.’”Then Herod called for a private meeting with the wise men, and he learned from them the time when the star first appeared.Then he told them,“ Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was.
