Contextual Overview

20Go up to Lebanon and cry out; raise your voice in Bashan; cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers have been crushed. 21I warned you when you were secure. You said, 'I will not listen.' This has been your way from youth, that you have not you obeyed My voice. 22The wind will drive away all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Then you will be ashamed and humiliated because of all your wickedness. 23O inhabitant of Lebanon, nestled in the cedars, how you will groan when pangs of anguish come upon you, agony like a woman in labor." 24"As surely as I live," declares the LORD, "even if you, Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off. 25And I will hand you over to those you dread, who want to take your life-to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Chaldeans. 26I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another land, where neither of you were born-and there you will both die. 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!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 a witness to what is after said; to rebuke the stupidity of the people, and to quicken their attention to somewhat very remarkable and worthy of notice, and therefore the word is repeated three times. Some think reference is had to the land from which, and that to which, the Jews removed, and the land of Israel, through which they passed. So the Targum,

"out of his own land they carried him captive into another land; O land of Israel, receive the words of the Lord.''

Jarchi mentions another reason of this threefold appellation, because the land of Israel was divided into three parts, Judea, beyond Jordan, and Galilee;

hear the word of the Lord; which follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Earth - On the repetition compare Jeremiah 7:4 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 22:29. O earth — These are the words of the prophet in reply: O land! unhappy land! desolated land! Hear the judgment of the Lord!
