SCRIPTURE

"but I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem." — Amos 2:5 (ASV)

But I will send a fire upon Judah An enemy, Nebuchadnezzar, who should burn, waste, and destroy, all that were in his way: and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem; the chief city of Judah, the royal city, where stood the temple, the palace of the most High, and the palaces of the king and his nobles; these were burnt with fire when it was taken by the Chaldean army, about two hundred years after this prophecy, (Jeremiah 52:13) .
