Verse 12

For man{H120} also knoweth{H3045}{(H8799)} not his time{H6256}: as the fishes{H1709} that are taken{H270}{(H8737)} in an evil{H7451} net{H4685}, and as the birds{H6833} that are caught{H270}{(H8803)} in the snare{H6341}; so{H1992} are the sons{H1121} of men{H120} snared{H3369}{(H8795)} in an evil{H7451} time{H6256}, when it falleth{H5307}{(H8799)} suddenly{H6597} upon them.
