Daniel 11:38

But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

But in his estate {H3653} shall he honour {H3513} the God {H433} of forces {H4581}: and a god {H433} whom his fathers {H1} knew {H3045} not shall he honour {H3513} with gold {H2091}, and silver {H3701}, and with precious {H3368} stones {H68}, and pleasant things {H2532}.

But instead, he will honor the god of strongholds; with gold, silver, precious stones and other costly things he will honor a god unknown to his ancestors.

And in their place, he will honor a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not know—with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.

But in his place shall he honor the god of fortresses; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.
