‘Verðr á foldu,’         kvað inn fróði halr,
‘styrjǫld mikil,         stórar ógnir,
víg ok vélar,         vargǫld ok kǫld
hrími hvers konar         hjǫrtu lýða.

‘Mikil styrjǫld verðr á foldu, stórar ógnir, víg ok vélar, vargǫld ok hjǫrtu lýða kǫld hrími hvers konar,’ kvað inn fróði halr.

‘A great war will come to pass on the earth, great terrors, battle and treacheries, the time of the wolf and hearts of men [will grow] cold with frost of every kind,’ said the wise man.
