Ecclesiastes 9:12
ESV, NIV, KJV · TruthBound Bible
ESV
For man does not know his time . Like fish that are taken in an evil net , and like birds that are caught in a snare , so the children of man are snared at an evil time , when it suddenly falls upon them.
NIV
Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.
KJV
For man also knoweth not his time : as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
