Exegesis
The second clause mirrors this with temimim {תְמִימִים | tə-mi-mîm} ‘blameless ones’ and the Niphal imperfect yivateru {יִוָּתְרוּ | yî-vā-te-rû} ‘will remain’, where the suffix bah {בָּהּ | bă} ‘in it’ refers back to aretz. This balanced structure emphasizes the covenantal link between moral integrity and lasting habitation.
In context — Proverbs 2:21
For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will stay there.
