Come, Enmerkar! I shall offer you advice: let my counsel be heeded. I shall speak words to you; let them be heard.

— Inanna

Rise like the sun over my holy breast! You are the jewel of my throat! Praise be to you, Enmerkar, the son of Utu!

— Inanna

Father, let me have the The dead will overwhelm all the living!

I go as one who brings forth water;I go as one who brings forth water.

When I go into the hub of the battle, I go as one who brings forth its brightest light.When I go into the van of the battle, I go as one who brings forth its brightest light.

When I enter the temple of Enlil, I go as its woman who triumphed over the mountains. I utter hostile words against the foreign lands; I seat my husband before me. I utter a challenge in the temples of the gods; I utter a challenge against Utu, against Nanna; I utter a challenge against Sud.

— Inanna

Good as the city -- there is nothing as good as this!as when Enlil eats, as when he drinks.

— Inanna

Wild bull, face of the Land! I will give life to its man! I will fulfil all its needs! I will make its man produce correct speech in the shrine.
