Stanza 43: As Ragnarök approaches, the fetter that binds the ravener which might be Fenrir or Garmr is foretold to break.
‘Garmr howls loudly before Gnipahellir,
the fetter will break and the ravener run free;
she knows much lore, I see further ahead,
about the great doom of the powers, of the victory-gods.
Stanza 47: This stanza is a refrain, repeating the prophecy of the fetter breaking and the ravener (Fenrir or Garmr) running free.
‘Now Garmr howls loudly before Gnipahellir,
the fetter will break and the ravener run free;
she knows much lore, I see further ahead,
about the great doom of the powers, of the victory-gods.
Stanza 39: Týr retorts, reminding Loki that his son Fenrir (Hróðrsvitnir) is also suffering, as he must wait "in bonds" until Ragnarök.
‘I’m wanting a hand, and you [are wanting] Hróðrsvitnir,
the affliction is intense pain for us both;
things don’t go well for the wolf, either, who must wait
in bonds for the darkness of the powers!’
Chapter 25-27(p. 25): While describing the god Tyr, his bravery is proven by his willingness to sacrifice his hand as a pledge to Fenrir.
It is one proof of his bravery that when the Æsir were luring Fenriswolf so as to get the fetter Gleipnir on him, he did not trust them that they would let him go until they placed Tyr’s hand in the wolf’s mouth as a pledge.
Chapter 34(p. 28): This chapter contains the main story of Fenrir's binding. After the wolf easily breaks the first two fetters, Leyding and Dromi, the gods despair. All-father then sends a messenger to the dwarves to create a unique, magical bond.
Then All-father sent some one called Skirnir, Freyr’s messenger, down into the world of black-elves to some dwarfs and had a fetter called Gleipnir made. It was made of six ingredients: the sound of the cat’s footfall and the woman’s beard, the mountain’s roots and the bear’s sinews and the fish’s breath and bird’s spittle.
