**הִנְנִי מֵסֵב אֶת כְּלֵי הַמִּלְחָמָה.** יֵשׁ בָּכֶם הַיּוֹדְעִים לְהַשְׁבִּיעַ אֶת הַשָּׂרִים שֶׁל מַעְלָה הַמְמֻנִּים עַל הַפֻּרְעָנִיּוֹת, לְהַצִּיל אִישׁ אִישׁ מִן הָרָעָה שֶׁהוּא מְמֻנֶּה עָלֶיהָ, וּבְכָךְ אַתֶּם בּוֹטְחִים; הִנְנִי מֵסֵב אֶת הַשְּׂרָרָה שֶׁל זֶה לָזֶה, וְלֹא תֵדְעוּ עַל מִי תַּשְׁבִּיעוּ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Behold I turn back the weapons of war** There are some among you who know how to adjure the heavenly princes in charge of retribution, that each one save them from the evil he is in charge of, and you rely on that. Behold, I will transfer one’s authority to another one, and you will not know whom to adjure.
