Thanks. I had in the meantime narrowed it down to Zechariah, and have since
narrowed it to Chapter 14, but I am not convinced that it really narrows
much further. (All the words are present in that book, but "magna" is only
in the earlier chapters. "Erit lux" is certainly in 14:7, but it is also in
14:6, which also has "die illa"! There is also a significant cluster in
14:9.)
