Just as a trap closes on an animal when the animal does not expect it, that day will happen when people do not expect it. Alternate translation: "that day will happen when you are not expecting it, as when a trap closes suddenly on an animal" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])

The coming of that day will appear to be sudden and unexpected to those who are not ready and watching for it. Alternate translation: "life. For if you are not careful, that day will close on you suddenly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
