Exegesis
The first clause is verb-initial: yashommu {יָשֹׁ֣מּוּ | yā-šōm-mû} ‘they will be appalled’ precedes the subject yesharim {יְשָׁרִ֣ים | yə-šā-rîm} ‘upright ones,’ giving prominence to the reaction before identifying who reacts.
Root and etymology
y-sh-ryod–shin–resh
“to be straight”
In context — Job 17:8
