walks in/on/at/with,uprightness,those & and,devious ways,his

One who walks, his, and one who is crooked refers to types of people in general, not to any specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “The person who walks in that person’s uprightness … but any person who is crooked in that person’s ways”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
