"Uttuku limnu hab-bi-lu
Ra-bi-su lim-nu mut-ta-az-ziz
e-kim-mu lim-nu gal-lu-u lim-nu la sa-li-lu
(shu-nu lim)-nu-ti Sha-ina ali is-sa-nun du shu-nu"
And in the Assyrian tongue...
"En Utug-hul-ik mulu-sha-ku-ab-sha-sha
Mashkim-hul-ik ub-da gub-gub-bu
Gidim-hul Mulla-hul u-nu-ku-ku-ne
(e-ne)-ne-ne hul-a-mesh eri-a nigin-na-a-mesh "
Then in English......
"The evil Spirit that destroyeth
The Evil Fiend that lLurkerth near
The Evil Spirit and Evil Devil that find no rest
These are they that scour the city ....."
the broken text goes on to say ... "slaughtering" .... Scattering"... "Seizing upon".... " Rending in pieces"
Does Not sound too "pleasant" ....
