-Spoke Ishar to her father Ànu with this speech;
-"O Father! Give the Bull of the Gods unto me
-for he may kill Gwôlagamesh in his halls.
-If you do not give the Bull of the Gods unto me,
-Then I will drum on the gates of the dead lands,
-Then I will crush the edges of the gate and allow the gate to lie low,
-Then I will allow that the dead may eat the living,
-Then the dead shall be more than the living!
