I can't think of anywhere in the Old Testament that could be interpreted
as that, but Revelation says,

http://cf.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Rev&c=11&v=18&t=KJV#18

  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead,
  that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy
  servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small
  and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
