16 he [smote] five times.
17 ... he went trampling through the forest cedar,
18 he discovered the secret abode of the Anunanki gods.
19 The wild-born was able to give counsel, he said to his friend:
20 “By your strength alone you slew the guardian,
21 what will now fell for you the forest of wood?
22 Lay down, make beautiful for me a tall cedar,
whose top vies with the heavens!
23 I will make a door whose breadth is a reed-length,
24 let it not have a pivot, let it travel (in) the door jamb.
25 Its side will be a cubit, a reed-length its breadth,
26 may no stranger draw near it, may a god have love for [it!].
27 To the house of Enlil the Euphrates shall take it,
28 may the folk of Nippur rejoice and
29 may Enlil delight in it!”
