Exegesis
The conjunction in utemimim {וּתְמִימִ֗ים | ūtəmmîmîm} ‘and the blameless’ signals contrast, leading to the apodosis with yinchalu {יִנְחֲלוּ־ | yinḥălû} ‘will inherit’, a legal-hortatory form describing possession of tov {טֽוֹב׃ | ṭōv} ‘good’. The structure thus balances a causative protasis with a promissory apodosis centered on integrity.
Root and etymology

In context — Proverbs 28:10
Whoever leads the upright astray in an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit good.
