The pagan worship practiced in Judah brought the same punishment as the sins of its pagan neighbors. That punishment was fire, a sign of God’s judgment, which would destroy Jerusalem (Amos 1:4, 7, 10, 12, 14; 2:2)
This judgment came to pass in 586 BC, when the Babylonians burned Jerusalem after capturing the city (see 2 Kings 25:9; Nehemiah 2:17; 4:2).
