Let lamentations arise, let complaining [be made]
[When] Tiamat [undertakes] this [work]
Their way shall be difficult ...
[Then] the god Mummu answered [his] father the deep:
Their way [shall be overthrown],
the light shall be darkened, let [it be] as the night!
The deep [heard] him and [his] countenance was lightened;
evil planned they against the gods.
