Context — A Warning to Coniah
27You will never return to the land for which you long.”
28Is this man Coniah a despised and shattered pot, a jar that no one wants? Why are he and his descendants hurled out and cast into a land they do not know?
29O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!
30This is what the LORD says: “Enroll this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime. None of his descendants will prosper to sit on the throne of David or to rule again in Judah.”Cross References

Jeremiah 22:29 Summary
[Jeremiah 22:29 is a call to the land and its people to listen to God's word and obey, just like we are called to listen to God's voice in our lives, as seen in verses like Psalm 119:105 and Matthew 4:4. The land is being addressed as a witness to God's covenant and message. The repetition of 'land' emphasizes the importance of the message and serves as a solemn warning. By listening to God's word, we can avoid judgment and receive blessings, as seen in verses like Deuteronomy 28:1-14 and Jeremiah 22:30.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Jeremiah 22:29 address the land instead of the people?
The land is being addressed because it is a witness to the covenant between God and His people, as seen in Deuteronomy 4:26 and Isaiah 1:2, and God is calling it to testify against the people's disobedience.
What is the significance of the repetition of 'land' in Jeremiah 22:29?
The repetition of 'land' emphasizes the importance of the message and serves as a solemn warning, much like the repetition of 'holy, holy, holy' in Isaiah 6:3, which emphasizes God's holiness.
How does this verse relate to the preceding verses about Coniah?
Jeremiah 22:29 serves as a transition from the specific judgment on Coniah to a broader call to the land to hear God's word, highlighting the universal implications of God's message, as seen in Jeremiah 22:30, which declares God's judgment on Coniah's descendants.
What is the tone of Jeremiah 22:29, and what does it convey?
The tone of Jeremiah 22:29 is one of urgency and warning, conveying God's desire for His people to listen and obey, as seen in other verses such as Ezekiel 33:7-11 and 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I can 'hear the word of the Lord' in my own life, and how can I be more attentive to His voice?
- How can I apply the principle of listening to God's word in my daily decisions and actions, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6?
- In what ways can I be a witness to God's covenant and message, just like the land in Jeremiah 22:29, and what responsibilities come with this role?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to heed God's warning and turn back to Him, as seen in Jeremiah 22:29 and other verses like 2 Chronicles 7:14?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 22:29
O earth, earth, earth,.... Not Coniah himself, an earthly man; but either the inhabitants of the whole earth, or of the land of Israel; or rather the earth, on which men dwell, is here called upon as
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 22:29
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. O earth! earth! earth! ... Write ye this man childless. Jeconiah was not actually without offspring (cf.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 22:29
By earth he either means the land of Judah, to which he calls thrice, to signify the deafness of this people, and unwillingness to hear and believe what God spake by him; or else he calls to the whole earth, as he calls heaven and earth to witness, 32:1 34:1 .
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 22:29
Jeremiah 22:29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.Ver. 29. O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.] Hear this irrevocable decree of mine, and this ensuing dreadful denunciation, which I cannot get this stupid and incredulous people to believe. His trebling of the word is for more assurance. Some sense it thus, O Coniah, thou who art earth by creation, earth by generation, and earth by resolution, hear and give ear, be not proud, for the Lord hath spoken it.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 22:29
(29) O earth, earth, earth.—The solemnity of the mystic threefold repetition expresses the certainty of the Divine decree (comp. Jeremiah 7:4). So in our Lord’s most solemn utterances we have the twice-repeated “Simon, Simon” (Luke 22:31), and the recurring “Verily, verily” of St. John’s Gospel (John 8:51 et al.).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 22:29
Verse 29. O earth] These are the words of the prophet in reply: O land! unhappy land! desolated land! Hear the judgment of the Lord!
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 22:29
29. O earth, earth, earth] better as mg. land. For the threefold repetition cp. Jeremiah 7:4. Du. however rejects this and the following v. on the ground that the emphatic introduction is unnatural, especially as Jeremiah, according to him, would not be further interested as to the king’s fate in exile. Co. also omits 29, but retains most of 30.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 22:29
Earth - On the repetition compare Jeremiah 7:4 note.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 22:29
29. Earth, earth, earth — The triple repetition marks the most solemn emphasis. See Jeremiah 7:4; Isaiah 6:3; Ezekiel 21:32.
