2 Concerning their clamor He [took heed].

3 He spoke in their assemblage to those untouched by the desolations.

4 Enlil [GOD] held His assembly.

5 He said to [the angels, His servants],

6 Those observing the clamor of men:

7 "Concerning their clamor I [take heed]."

8 He said in their assemblage to those untouched by the desolations.

37 Enlil [GOD] held His assembly; He speaks to [the angels, His servants].

38 "I will put them to death.

39 The people have not become less; they are more numerous than before.

40 Concerning their clamor I [take heed]."

41 He said in their assemblage to those untouched by the desolations:

42 "Let the fig tree for the people be cut off.

43 In their bellies let the plant be wanting.

44 Above, let Adad [an angel] make his rain scarce.

45 Below let (the fountain of the deep) be stopped that the flood rise not at the source.

46 Let the field withhold its fertility.

47 Let a change come over the bosom of Nisaba [the earth]; by night let the fields become white.

48 Let the wide field bear weeds (?).

49 Let her bosom revolt, that the plant come not forth, that the sheep become not pregnant.

50 Let calamity be placed upon the people.

51 Let the womb be closed, that it bring forth no infant."

52 The fig tree was cut off for the people.

53 In their bellies, the plant was wanting.

54 Above, Adad made scarce his rain.

55 Below (the fountain of the deep) was stopped, that the flood rose not at the source.

56 The field withheld its fertility.

57 A change came over the bosom of Nisaba; the fields by night became white.

58 The wide field bore weeds (?); her womb revolted.

59 The plant came not forth; the sheep did not become pregnant.
