Revelation 13:5

Revelation 13:4 They worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast. In following after and obeying the beast they really gave worship to the dragon which had given the beast his power. And they worshipped the beast. Their worship was, however, directed to the beast itself. Who [is] like unto the beast? This language implies giving the beast superhuman honors. Similar language is often used of God (Exodus 15:11 Ps 113:5 Isa 40:18). The dragon, cast down, receives worship through the beast.
