1 Samuel 28:21

21And the woman came to Saul, and when she saw that he was terrified, she said to him, “Behold, your servant has obeyed you. aI have taken my life in my hand and have listened to what you have said to me.

Job 18:7-11

7His strong steps are shortened,
and his bown schemes throw him down.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
and he walks on its mesh.
9 cA trap seizes him by the heel;
a snare lays hold of him.
10A rope is hidden for him in the ground,
a trap for him in the path.
11 dTerrors frighten him on every side,
and chase him at his heels.

Psalms 48:4-5

4 For behold, ethe kings assembled;
they came on together.
5As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;
they were in panic; they took to flight.

Isaiah 57:20-21

20 fBut the wicked are like the tossing sea;
for it cannot be quiet,
and its waters toss up mire and dirt.
21 gThere is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

Matthew 2:3-12

3When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where hthe Christ was to be born. 5They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

6 i“‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who will jshepherd my people Israel.’”
7Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. 8And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” 9After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, kthey offered him gifts, lgold and mfrankincense and nmyrrh. 12And obeing warned pin a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.
