Amos 2:5

5 et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem

Amos 2:5 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 2:5

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 ) .

Amos 2:5 In-Context

3 et disperdam iudicem de medio eius et omnes principes eius interficiam cum eo dicit Dominus

4 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Iuda et super quattuor non convertam eum eo quod abiecerint legem Domini et mandata eius non custodierint deceperunt enim eos idola sua post quae abierant patres eorum

5 et mittam ignem in Iuda et devorabit aedes Hierusalem

6 haec dicit Dominus super tribus sceleribus Israhel et super quattuor non convertam eum pro eo quod vendiderit argento iustum et pauperem pro calciamentis

7 qui conterunt super pulverem terrae capita pauperum et viam humilium declinant et filius ac pater eius ierunt ad puellam ut violarent nomen sanctum meum
