[Speech of Ishtar, Lady of the Gods.]
163. Now when the Lady of the Gods came nigh,
164. She lifted up the priceless jewels which Anu had made according
to her desire, [saying]
165. "O ye gods here present, as I shall never forget the
lapis-lazuli jewels of my neck
166. So shall I ever think about these days, and shall
forget them nevermore!
167. Let the gods come to the offering,
168. But let not Enlil come to the offering,
169. Because he would not accept counsel and made the cyclone, 17O. And delivered my people over to destruction."
