Say:

Your mother was like a lioness.
    She lay down among the lions.
    She fed many cubs.
One of the cubs she raised became a young lion.
    He learned to tear apart the animals he hunted.
        He ate people.
The nations heard about him,
    caught him in their pit,
        and brought him with hooks to Egypt.

    and he became a man-eater.
The nations heard about him,
    and he was trapped in their pit.
They led him with hooks(C)
    to the land of Egypt.(D)
