Daniel 5:21-23

21 ^aHe was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, ^buntil he knew that the ^cMost High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22 And you his son, ^{▼▼Or successor} ^eBelshazzar, ^fhave not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against ^gthe Lord of heaven. And ^hthe vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. ⁱAnd you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, ^jbut the God in whose hand is your breath, and ^kwhose are all your ways, ^lyou have not honored.

Matthew 2:3-8

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

6 ⁿ“‘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 ^oshepherd my people Israel.’”
7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. 8 And 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.”

Matthew 2:16

Herod Kills the Children

16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.

Luke 16:31

31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear ^pMoses and the Prophets, ^qneither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
