Amos 2:5

The verse explicitly states that fire will "devour" the palaces of Jerusalem, which is a direct act of destruction, and there is no indication that this destruction is not related to the fate of the wicked.

The verse explicitly mentions "fire" as an instrument of destruction, directly aligning with the theme's criteria for "fire imagery in a judgment or punishment context."

The verse describes a destruction of Judah and Jerusalem, but it does not explicitly mention "Christ's return" or connect this destruction to a future eschatological event. The destruction could refer to a historical event within the Old Testament narrative.

The verse speaks of destruction of "palaces," which are structures, not people, and therefore does not necessarily imply the annihilation or destruction of individuals. The focus is on physical structures, not the cessation of existence for the wicked.

The verse describes a destructive act without explicitly using any of the keywords listed in the theme definition, such as "punish" or "wrath."

While the language is concrete, "fire" could be a metaphor for destruction or judgment, and "palaces" could represent the ruling elite or institutions, rather than a literal burning of physical structures.
