Exegesis

The contrast between these self-focused efforts and his father’s conduct—hālōʾ ʾāḥal wə-šātāh wə-ʿāśāh mishpāṭ û-ṣə-ḏā-qāh {הֲל֧וֹא אָכַ֣ל וְשָׁתָ֗ה וְעָשָׂ֤ה מִשְׁפָּט֙ וּצְדָקָ֔ה | ha-lōʾ ʾā-ḥal wə-šā-tāh wə-ʿā-śāh miš-pāṭ û-ṣə-ḏā-qāh} ‘did he not eat and drink and do justice and righteousness’—reinforces the rhetorical contrast.

In context — Jeremiah 22:15

Will you reign because you are striving in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness ? Then it was well for him.
