Ecclesiastes 9:13

9:12 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.

9:13 This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me:

9:14 There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it.
