Quick answer
Crookedness shows up as a road, not as an incident. The verse contrasts a whole way of going with a body of work.
Read both lines
The first line is difficult in Hebrew, and the NKJV footnotes an alternative reading, "The way of a man is perverse and strange," because the word rendered "guilty" is rare and its sense is contested. What both readings preserve is the image, a road that does not run straight, and the verb behind "perverse" describes something turned back on itself. The second line answers with a different noun entirely: not the pure man's way but his work, what he actually produced. Setting a road against a body of work is the verse's craft, and it says the two are the same evidence viewed from different distances.
