Chapter 30

And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come⁴ upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set¹ before thee, and thou shalt call⁵² [them] to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven⁵² thee,

And shalt return¹ unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey¹ his voice according to all that I command¹⁸ thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

That then the LORD thy God will turn¹ thy captivity, and have compassion¹⁴ upon thee, and will return¹ and gather¹⁴ thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered⁵² thee.

If [any] of thine be driven out¹² unto the outmost [parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather¹⁷ thee, and from thence will he fetch⁴ thee:

And the LORD thy God will bring⁵² thee into the land which thy fathers possessed,¹ and thou shalt possess¹ it; and he will do thee good,⁵² and multiply⁵² thee above thy fathers.

And the LORD thy God will circumcise¹ thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love² the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

And the LORD thy God will put¹ all these curses upon thine enemies,⁶ and on them that hate⁶ thee, which persecuted¹ thee.

And thou shalt return⁴ and obey¹ the voice of the LORD, and do¹ all his commandments which I command¹⁸ thee this day.

And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous⁵² in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again⁴ rejoice² over thee for good, as he rejoiced¹ over thy fathers:

If thou shalt hearken⁴ unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep² his commandments and his statutes which are written⁷ in this book of the law, [and] if thou turn⁴ unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

For this commandment which I command¹⁸ thee this day, it [is] not hidden¹² from thee, neither [is] it far off.

It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say,² Who shall go up⁴ for us to heaven, and bring⁴ it unto us, that we may hear⁵⁵ it, and do⁴ it?

Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say,² Who shall go⁴ over the sea for us, and bring⁴ it unto us, that we may hear⁵⁵ it, and do⁴ it?

But the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do² it.

See,³ I have set¹ before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

In that I command¹⁸ thee this day to love² the LORD thy God, to walk² in his ways, and to keep² his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live¹ and multiply:¹ and the LORD thy God shall bless¹⁴ thee in the land whither thou goest⁶ to possess² it.

But if thine heart turn away,⁴ so that thou wilt not hear,⁴ but shalt be drawn away,⁸ and worship⁹⁸ other gods, and serve¹ them;

I denounce⁵² unto you this day, that ye shall surely² perish,⁴ [and that] ye shall not prolong⁵⁵ [your] days upon the land, whither thou passest over⁶ Jordan to go² to possess² it.

I call heaven and earth to record⁵² this day against you, [that] I have set¹ before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose¹ life, that both thou and thy seed may live:⁴

That thou mayest love² the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey² his voice, and that thou mayest cleave² unto him: for he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell² in the land which the LORD sware⁸ unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give² them.
