Woe from the Day of Judgment (Woe to us from the Day of Judgment)

Woe to the day when one must account for their deeds. A cry of fear in anticipation of the severity of judgment or the punishment to come.

("Abba Cohen Berdale said, 'Woe to us from the Day of Judgment, woe to us from the day of rebuke.'" – Bereshit Rabbah (Vilna) Parashat Vayeshev, 73; and also: "Woe to me from the Day of Judgment, woe to me from the day of reparation, what will I answer when I am brought to trial?" – Agnon / On the Lock’s Handles, Simple Story, 56)
