For man also knoweth not his time Namely, the time of his death, or of some other sore distress, which God is bringing upon him; as fishes are taken in an evil net While they are sporting and feeding themselves, are suddenly and unexpectedly ensnared to their ruin; so are the sons of men snared When they are most careless and secure.
