Exegesis
The demonstrative zeh {זֶה | zéh} then introduces a nominal clause identifying darkekh {דַרְכֵּךְ | darkēḵ} ‘your way,’ further specified by the construct min-ne’urayikh {מִנְּעוּרַיִךְ | min-nəʿûrayiḵ} ‘from your youth.’
In context — Jeremiah 22:21
I spoke to you in your prosperity , but you said, “I will not listen.” This is your way from your youth, for you have not listened to my voice .
