Solomon compares the young man who is quickly doing something that will kill him to a bird rushing into a trap. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and he quickly goes to be killed like a bird rushing into a trap”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
