Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְ֝רוֹזְנִ֗ים יְחֹ֣קְקוּ צֶֽדֶק
and,rulers decree what_is_just
Wisdom is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and by me dignitaries decree righteousness” or “and by what is wise dignitaries decree righteousness”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
צֶֽדֶק
what_is_just
See how you translated the abstract noun righteousness in 1:3.
