2952. 'In the ears of the people of the land' means even to being obedient as regards the truths of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the ear' as obedience, dealt with in 2542, 2942, and from the meaning of 'the people of the land' as those who belong to the spiritual Church, and also the truths of that Church, dealt with in 1259, 1260, 2928.

1 Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear; the world, and everything that comes from it.

2 For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.
