Obv.
1 [Incanta]tion. The claw of Anzû is a scorpion,
2 [Bu]t she, the witch, piles up
3 her witchcraft.
4 Let me emerge against her like the rainbow (in) the sky,
5 Let me blow against her like the east wind
6 and the west wind.
7 Let me destroy her cloud, let me destroy her storm,
8 Let me scatter her witchcraft, which she has been practicing
9 against me.
10 And the messages that she has been sending
11 against me.
12 Asleep is the ford, asle[ep is the quay],
13 The [s]ailors, a[ll of them,
14 [a]re asle[ep],
15 Upon [d]oo[r and bolt, locks are placed].
Rev.

16 [At the ris]ing of Šama[š, the judge of people],
17 [What she ha]s pinched from the river, [let it be her (own) clay]!
18 What she has picked up from the door, [let it be her (own) ...]!
19 What she has gathered in the street, let it be [dirt] of her (own)
20 foot!
21 What she has dragged from the pit, let it be [her] (own) hair com[bings]!
22 What she has taken from a conversation,
23 Let it be the conversation of her (own) mouth!
24 And the pride of her (own) head!
25 At the rising of Šamaš I shall undo them!
26 Let the imḫur-līm-plant strike her cheek!
27 Let the gišGAN.U5-wood undo her witchcraft!
28 Let the maštakal-plant return
29 her word to her mouth!
30 Let the bent wand release the knots of
31 the machination of her mind!
