Exegesis
The second clause begins with u-beda’at {וּבְדַעַת | u·bə-ḏa-ʿat} “and by knowledge,” signaling the means of deliverance, followed by the nominative tsaddiqim {צַדִּיקִים | ṣad-dî-qîm} “the righteous” and the Niphal imperfect yekhaletzu {יֵחָלֵצוּ | yē-ḥā-lê-ṣû} “they will be delivered,” forming a contrastive parallelism that opposes destructive hypocrisy with protective insight.
