King James Bible:
Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of
battle and war?

LORD.
Proverbs 21:31

Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she
kept this.
John 12:7

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself
wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment
of God;
Romans 2:5

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept
in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition
of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:7

So saying, with delight he snuff'd the smell
Of mortal change on Earth. As when a flock
Of ravenous Fowl, though many a League remote,
Against the day of Battel, to a Field,
Where Armies lie encampt, come flying, lur'd
With sent of living Carcasses design'd
For death, the following day, in bloodie fight.
Milton, Paradise Lost IX:272-8

"But according to the hardness of thy heart and thy impenitent heart,
thou treasurest up for thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the
revelation of the just judgment of God, who will render unto every one
according to his works." -Augustine, On the Nature of Good
