The guardian-bulls of Ê-šarra, [the temple of the host of the gods], departed.

The enemy, the Elamite, multiplied evils,

And Bêl allowed evil to be planned against Babylon.”

“When righteousness was absent (?), then was decided (?) also the destruction

Of Ê-šarra, the temple of the host of the gods, the guardian-bulls departed.

The enemy, the Elamite, took its goods—

Bêl, dwelling upon it, had displeasure.”

“When the magicians repeated their evil words (?),

Gullum[47] and the evil wind performed their evil (?).

Then their gods departed—they departed like a torrent.
