¹ Here is what Adonai says: "For Mo'av's three crimes, no, four — I will not reverse it — because he burned the bones of the king of Edom, turning them into lime; ² I will send fire on Mo'av, and it will consume the palaces of K'riot. Mo'av will die with turmoil and shouting, along with the sound of the shofar. ³ I will cut off the judge from among them and kill all his princes with him," says Adonai . ⁴ Here is what Adonai says: "For Y'hudah's three crimes, no, four — I will not reverse it — because they rejected Adonai 's Torah and haven't observed his laws, and their lies caused them to fall into error and live the way their ancestors did; ⁵ I will send fire on Y'hudah, and it will consume the palaces of Yerushalayim. ⁶ Here is what Adonai says: "For Isra'el's three crimes, no, four — I will not reverse it — because they sell the upright for silver and the poor for a pair of shoes, ⁷ grinding the heads of the poor in the dust and pushing the lowly out of the way; father and son sleep with the same girl, profaning my holy name; ⁸ lying down beside any altar on clothes taken in pledge; drinking wine in the house of their God bought with fines they imposed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I will send a fire upon Judah - All know now, how Jerusalem, its temple, and its palaces perished by fire, first by Nebuchadnezzar, then by the Romans. Yet some two centuries passed, before that first destruction came. The ungodly Jews flattered themselves that it would never come. So we know that a “fiery stream” Daniel 7:10 will issue and come forth from Him; “a fire” that “consumeth to destruction” Job 31:12, all who, whether or no they are in the body of the Church, are not of the heavenly Jerusalem; dead members in the body which belongs to the Living Head. And it will not the less come, because it is not regarded. Rather, the very condition of all God’s judgments is, to be disregarded and to come, and then most to come, when they are most disregarded.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Amos 2:5. I will send a fire upon Judah — This fire was the war made upon the Jews by Nebuchadnezzar, which terminated with the sackage and burning of Jerusalem and its palace the temple.
