Q: צַדִּיק הוּא חָיֹה יִחְיֶה
[...] [...]
A: he is righteous; and will surely live
Reference: Ezekiel 18:9 יחזקאל
Hint: Hebrew often places two verbs in a row for emphasis.  We'll get to this in the latter stages of our discussion on Qal verbs.
חָיֹה יִחְיֶה means "living he will live", or more smoothly in English, "he will surely/certaintly live"
Back Extra: Despite agreeing in gender, number and definiteness, this adjective precedes the pronoun "he"; another clue is that צַדִּיק הוּא is a verbless clause
