Isaiah 26:20
Hebrew Bible
19 Your dead will come back to life; your corpses will rise up. Wake up and shout joyfully, you who live in the dust!32 For you will grow like plants drenched with the morning dew, and the earth will bring forth its dead spirits. 20 Go, my people! Enter your inner rooms! Close your doors behind you! Hide for a little while, until his angry judgment is over. 21 For look, the Lord is coming out of the place where he lives to punish the sin of those who live on the earth. The earth will display the blood shed on it; it will no longer cover up its slain.

1 Enoch 10:2
Pseudepigrapha
1 Then the Most High, the Holy and Great One spoke, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, saying to him: 2 'Go to Noah and tell him in my name to hide himself and reveal to him that the end is near: the entire earth will be destroyed, a deluge is about to cover the whole earth and will wipe out everything on it. 3 And now instruct him so that he may escape and his descendants may be preserved for all future generations.'

Notes and References
"... 1 Enoch 10:2 ... The three lines in this strophe and the first one in the next strophe are introduced by a series of parallel and generally synonymous verbs in the imperative. Through these verbs, Sariel’s function is depicted as that of a prophet or an eschatological teacher. He warns Noah to take cover in the face of theophany and judgment. Compare Genesis 3:8, 10; Isaiah 26:20-21; Zephaniah 2:3; Revelation 6:15-16; 1 Enoch 102:1-3. This fits with the tenor of the whole chapter, where deluge and final judgment parallel and coalesce with one another. That “the end is coming” reflects the language of Genesis 6:13. Nonetheless, these terms may also have eschatological connotations here ..."
