Exegesis
The infinitives liš-pōḵ {לִשְׁפּוֹךְ | liš-pōḵ} and la-ʿă-sōṯ {לַעֲשׂוֹת | la-ʿă-sōṯ} express ongoing volitional actions, with the repeated wə-ʿal creating a mounting accusatory rhythm.
In context — Jeremiah 22:17
For your eyes and your heart are fixed only on selfish gain and on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and on violence.
