صَادَفَ in a sentence

From a fully vowelled text

«فَاحْتَرِزُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ لِئَلاَّ تَثْقُلَ قُلُوبُكُمْ فِي خُمَارٍ وَسُكْرٍ وَهُمُومِ الْحَيَاةِ، فَيُصَادِفَكُمْ ذلِكَ الْيَوْمُ بَغْتَةً.And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.Luke 21:34, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
