"O earth, earth, earth, give ear to the word of the Lord!"
— Jeremiah 22:29, Bible in Basic English
“O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.”
I will send you out, and your mother who gave you birth, into another country not the land of your birth; and there death will come to you.
But to the land on which their soul's desire is fixed, they will never come back.
Is this man Coniah a broken vessel of no value? is he a vessel in which there is no pleasure? why are they violently sent out, he and his seed, into a land which is strange to them?
O earth, earth, earth, give ear to the word of the Lord!
The Lord has said, Let this man be recorded as having no children, a man who will not do well in all his life: for no man of his seed will do well, seated on the seat of the kingdom of David and ruling again in Judah.
