Exegesis
Two parallel clauses then contrast outcomes: ve-tsaddikim yelekhu bam {וְצַדִּיקִ֖ים יֵלְכ֣וּ בָ֑ם | wə-ṣad-dî-qîm yēl-ḵū bām} portrays the righteous as successfully “walking” within those ways, while uposhe'im yikkashelu bam {וּפֹֽשְׁעִ֖ים יִכָּשְׁל֥וּ בָֽם | ū-pō-šə-ʿîm yi-kā-šə-lū bām} sets the transgressors in ironic reversal: the same “ways” become the arena of their stumbling.

“be just, be righteous”
In context — Hosea 14:9
Who is wise? Let him understand these things . Who is discerning? Let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are upright; and the righteous will walk in them, but transgressors will stumble in them.
