The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. Now when she had waited, she saw her hope was lost. Then she took another of her cubs [Jehoiachin] and made him a young lion. And he [Jehoiachin] went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion and learned to catch prey, and he devoured men. And he knew and ravaged their strongholds and he laid waste their cities, and the land was appalled and all who were in it by the noise of his roaring.

With hooks they put him in a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into custody and put him in strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
