11.29 As moths hurriedly rush into a blazing fire for (their own) destruction, so also these creatures hurriedly rush into Thy mouths for (their own) destruction.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish

I see all people rushing full speed into Your mouths, as moths dash to destruction in a blazing fire.
