Daniel 11:24
Unexpectedly, even into the rich places of the province, will he enter, and will do what neither his fathers nor his father’s fathers had done, prey and spoil and substance—among them, will he scatter,—and, against strongholds, will he devise plots even until a (convenient) time.

Daniel 11:24 in other translations
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
In a time of peace, he will invade the richest provinces and do what his fathers and forefathers never did. He will lavish plunder, loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will plot against the strongholds—but only for a time.
In time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter among them prey, plunder, and wealth. Yes, he will devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.

In context
21 Then will rise up in his stead, one despised, and they will not lay upon him the dignity of the kingdom,—but he will come in unexpectedly, and strengthen the kingdom by flatteries;
22 and, the arms of an overflowing flood, will sweep all before him, and they shall be broken in pieces,—moreover also, the prince of a covenant;
23 and, by reason of the leaguing against him, he will work deceitfully, and will come up and become strong, with a small nation.
24 Unexpectedly, even into the rich places of the province, will he enter, and will do what neither his fathers nor his father’s fathers had done, prey and spoil and substance—among them, will he scatter,—and, against strongholds, will he devise plots even until a (convenient) time.
25 Then will he stir up his strength and his heart, against the king of the south, with a great army, and, the king of the south, will wage war, with a great and exceedingly mighty army,—but will make no stand, for they will devise against him plots;
26 and, they who have been eating his delicacies, will break him in pieces, and, his army, will he overwhelm like a flood,—and many wounded, will fall.
27 Now, as for the two kings, their heart, will be set on acting wickedly, and, at one table, will they speak, falsehood,—but it shall not succeed, for yet is the end for an appointed time.
