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, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

Even man has no knowledge of his time; like fishes taken in an evil net, or like birds taken by deceit, are the sons of men taken in an evil time when it comes suddenly on them.

Διοτι ουδε ο ανθρωπος γνωριζει τον καιρον αυτου· καθως οι ιχθυες οιτινες πιανονται εν κακω δικτυω, και καθως τα πτηνα, τα οποια πιανονται εν παγιδι, ουτω παγιδευονται οι υιοι των ανθρωπων εν καιρω κακω οταν εξαιφνης επελθη επ' αυτους.

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.
