Ecclesiastes 9:12

NLT

NIV

12 People can never predict when hard times might come. Like fish in a net or birds in a trap, people are caught by sudden tragedy.
12 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.
