| Ishtar spoke to her father, Anu, saying: | |
| "Father, give me the Bull of Heaven,
| |
| so he can kill Gilgamesh in his dwelling.
| |
| If you do not give me the Bull of Heaven,
| |
| I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld,
| |
| I will smash the door posts, and leave the doors flat down,
| |
| and will let the dead go up to eat the living!
| |
| And the dead will outnumber the living!"
