Abstract High $E_T$ jet production is studied in neutral current deep-inelastic $e^{\pm}p$ scattering at large four momentum transfer squared $Q^2>150$~GeV$^2$ with the H1 detector, using a combined data sample of HERA I and HERA II, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 395 pb$^{-1}$. The inclusive jet, 2-jet and 3-jet cross sections, normalized to the neutral current deep-inelastic scattering cross section, referred to as jet multiplicity, 2-jet and 3-jet rates, are measured as a function of $Q^2$ and of the jet transverse energy in the Breit frame $E_{T,B}$. The measurements are found to be well described by calculations at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. The preliminary results on inclusive jets presented here are compared to recently published results, based on HERA I data with an integrated luminosity 65.4 pb$^{-1}$. The strong coupling $lpha_s$ is extracted from each of the individual jet measurements as well as from their combination.
