evil day
Day of misfortune
An evil day is a time of misfortune, calamity, or reckoning.
The phrase appears in biblical and literary contexts: Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand in the evil day.
To put off the evil day is to postpone something unpleasant but inevitable: He kept refinancing, putting off the evil day when he'd have to sell the house.
