SECOND WITCH. All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!
THIRD WITCH. All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter!...
Then in Act 4 scene 1
The witches call up an apparition, an Armed Head, which tells Macbeth "Beware Macduff," (who ends up killing Macbeth).

he will become the thane of Cawdor and the thing.
