Context
A Warning for Coniah
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.”…

O land, land, land
The repetition of the word "land" in Jeremiah 22:29 is a powerful rhetorical device that emphasizes the urgency and gravity of the message. In Hebrew, the word for "land" is "אֶרֶץ" (erets), which can refer to the physical ground, a country, or a nation. Here, it signifies the nation of Judah, which is being called to attention. The triple repetition underscores the seriousness of the impending judgment and the need for the people to heed the warning. This repetition can also be seen as an expression of deep emotion, reflecting God's lament over the spiritual state of His people and the consequences they face due to their disobedience.

hear the word of the LORD!
The phrase "hear the word of the LORD" is a call to listen and obey. In Hebrew, the word "hear" is "שָׁמַע" (shama), which implies not just hearing with the ears but also understanding and acting upon what is heard. This is a common prophetic call throughout the Old Testament, where the prophets urge the people to listen to God's message. The "word of the LORD" refers to the divine revelation given through the prophet Jeremiah. It is a reminder that the message is not of human origin but comes from God Himself, carrying His authority and truth. The call to hear is an invitation to repentance and transformation, urging the people to turn back to God and avoid the impending judgment. This phrase highlights the importance of being attentive to God's voice and responding in faith and obedience.

(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.).

Verse 29. - O earth, earth, earth. The repetition is for solemnity's sake (comp. Jeremiah 7:4).
