Ninurta the advice of Enki followed; with his Whirlwind a dust storm he created. The dust Anzu's face covered, the pinions of his skybird were exposed; Into their midst Ninurta the missile let loose, a fiery brilliance Anzu's pinions engulfed. Like butterflies his wings began to flutter; to the ground Anzu came falling. The Earth shook, the skies became darkened; The fallen Anzu Ninurta made captive, from him the Tablets he retrieved. From the Mountaintop the Igigi were watching; When to the Landing Place Ninurta came, they trembled and kissed his feet. Ninurta the captive Abgal and Anunnaki set free, to Anu and Enlil his victory he announced. To Nibru-ki he then returned, in its innermost chamber the Tablets were reinstalled. Once again the brilliance therein returned, the hum of ME's in the Tablets was restored. Before the Seven Who judge Anzu for a judgment was taken; Enlil and Ninlil his spouse, Enki and his spouse Ninki, the one beforehand as Damkina known, And the sons Nannar and Marduk were there; Ninmah also was in judging. Ninurta of the evil deeds spoke: There was no justification, let death be the penalty! he said. The Igigi by right were complaining, a rest place on Earth they do need! Marduk in counter argued. By his evil deed all the Anunnaki and Igigi Anzu did endanger! Enlil said. Enki and Ninmah with Enlil agreed; the evil must be extinguished! they said. To death by execution the seven judged Anzu; With a killing ray Anzu's life breath was extinguished. Let his body to the vultures be left! Ninurta said.
