Deuteronomy 30

¹Deuteronomy 30:1. “When all these things come upon you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you call them to mind in all the nations to which the LORD your God has banished you,²Deuteronomy 30:2. and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey His voice with all your heart and all your soul according to everything I am giving you today,³Deuteronomy 30:3. then He will restore you from captivity and have compassion on you and gather you from all the nations to which the LORD your God has scattered you.⁴Deuteronomy 30:4. Even if you have been banished to the farthest horizon, He will gather you and return you from there.⁵Deuteronomy 30:5. And the LORD your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you will take possession of it. He will cause you to prosper and multiply more than your fathers.⁶Deuteronomy 30:6. The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.⁷Deuteronomy 30:7. Then the LORD your God will put all these curses upon your enemies who hate you and persecute you.⁸Deuteronomy 30:8. And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and follow all His commandments I am giving you today.⁹Deuteronomy 30:9. So the LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land. Indeed, the LORD will again delight in your prosperity, as He delighted in that of your fathers,¹⁰Deuteronomy 30:10. if you obey the LORD your God by keeping His commandments and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

¹¹Deuteronomy 30:11. For this commandment I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.¹²Deuteronomy 30:12. It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’¹³Deuteronomy 30:13. And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’¹⁴Deuteronomy 30:14. But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.¹⁵Deuteronomy 30:15. See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, as well as death and disaster.¹⁶Deuteronomy 30:16. For I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase, and the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.¹⁷Deuteronomy 30:17. But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,¹⁸Deuteronomy 30:18. I declare to you today that you will surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.¹⁹Deuteronomy 30:19. I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live,²⁰Deuteronomy 30:20. and that you may love the LORD your God, obey Him, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
