| Utnapishtim continues to talk with Gilgamesh |
|
 | There is no permanence. Do we build a house to stand forever? Do we seal a contract to hold for all time? | |
|
| I look at you now Utnapishtim, and your appearance is no different from mine. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I will reveal to you a mystery, I will tell you a secret of the gods. | |
|
| Please do tell me Utnapishtim. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| As for you Gilgamesh, who will assemble the Gods for your sake? | |
|
| Utnapishtim and his wife made loaves of bread to count the number of days Gilgamesh slept to prove to himself that he did indeed sleep. | |
