‘There'll be a day of reckoning, of course,’ said Ellie. ‘They'll come down on us like a cloud of vultures... But we might as well enjoy ourselves until that happens.’ (A. Christie, ‘Endless Night’, ch. 9) — - Конечно, час расплаты наступит, - сказала Элли. - Родственники набросятся на нас как коршуны. Но пока этого не случилось, мы можем наслаждаться жизнью.

There'll be a day of reckoning, with that kind of foolishness. (J. O'Hara, ‘The Horse Knows the Way’, ‘The Hardware Man’) — Наступит время, когда придется расплачиваться за эту глупость.
