Ecclesiastes 9:12 NKJV/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 12 For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them. | 12 Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them. |
