1-2 Say to Icbi-Erra: this is what your lord, Ibbi-Suen, says:

3-10 As long as God was favourable to me, what course were you following? And is this how you alter your word? Today God is displeased with me and with Urim, and is handing Urim over to the enemy. Its central part is gone, the enemy has risen up, and all the lands are thrown into disarray. But on the day when God turns again with favour towards Urim, you and your word will be marked out!

11-13 You have received 20 talents of silver to purchase grain. You purchase it at the price of one shekel of silver per 2 gur of grain, but in dealing with me, you fix the price at one shekel of silver per 1 gur of grain!

14-18 How could you allow Puzur-Numucda, the commander of the fortress Igi-hursaja, to let the hostile Martu penetrate into my Land? Until now he has not sent to you word about engaging in battle. There are puny men in the Land! Why has he not faced the Martu?
