Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way. {Speak: or, Meditate}

{They that are delivered} from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, {even} the righteous acts {toward the inhabitants} of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates. {righteous...: Heb. righteousnesses}
