Translation

16'           I have created you [inside me],

17'–18'      I pinched you [from the di]rt of my hands.

19'–20'      Who turned you into a ‘plant of death’?

21'            May the scorpion be crushed!

22'            May the man live!

23'            Thus spoke Enki, my lord.

24'           Tu-Enenuru-spell.
25'           Incantation against a scorpion.
