On the apex of the God’s mountain Marduk reigns over the time. He sees the inferior coming, can’t hinder this coming. Firm his spear’s shaft sticks in the vitreous ceiling of the mountain. Darkness stretches, rules over the light. In crowdedness lies caught the midnight land, corpses of fallen heroes decay at the foot of the holy mountain. – The army of darkness forces onward from the west, wild rolls the crowd of the speechless ones from the east, nothing more that could save Babil, nothing more that could help Assur, paralyzed lies down below the Northland’s child. – Lonely mourns Marduk on the world mountain’s top. Lost is the homeland of the gods. They aren’t singing anymore, they aren’t celebrating feasts nor are they arming for battles anymore. Even their thoughts are caught in chains. And Ishtar is crying for her nation. – As Marduk raises his eyes to the borders of the highest lights, where Ishtar stands weeping. And he hears Ishtar’s voice jingling to him: “Lord Marduk! Protector of the midnight mountain! Catapult your spear against the enemy! Save our people!” And Marduk answered her: “O Ishtar! – How much I would like to do that! But the nation lies down below, crunched is the kingdom, numerous is the enemies’ dominion – and the new Sargon, the emancipator, the retaliator is still not here.”
But Ishtar looked at him and said: “O Marduk! Look what was coming from below to rule over the earth’s world and to dominate our people which came once from above. Do not brook that the below reigns over the above any longer, fling your spear! The one of us, who catches it, shall be the new Sargon.”
And Marduk pulled out the spear from the ground, lifted it up and catapulted it with great force down to the earth’s world. While Marduk did that, Ishtar commanded the celestial bodies to ooze a new light – invisible.
Marduk’s spear showed effect on earth’s world. Bearing a new will to the people, a new anger and a new weapon. In Ishtar’s light beam the new forces ripened and a new Sargon was arising from the people, soon griping Marduk’s spear.
And an awesome struggling elevated – until the below was defeated and the above was heightened and the new Babil was built.
All this is to be seen in farther times, all this will happen!”
