﻿Deuteronomy.
Chapter 30.
When all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse that I have set before you, and you bring them back to your heart among all the nations where the LORD your God has driven you, 
and you return to the LORD your God and listen to his voice according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and all your soul, 
then the LORD your God will bring you back from captivity and have compassion on you. He will again gather you from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you. 
Even if your outcasts are at the farthest end of heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. 
The LORD your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will do you good and multiply you more than your fathers. 
The LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, so that you may love the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul, so that you may live. 
The LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. 
You shall return and listen to the voice of the LORD and do all his commandments that I command you today. 
The LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb, the fruit of your livestock, and the fruit of your ground, for good. For the LORD will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers, 
if you listen to the voice of the LORD your God, keeping his commandments and statutes written in this scroll of the law, if you return to the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul. 
For this commandment that I command you today is not too difficult for you or far away. 
It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and bring it to us, and make us hear it so that we may do it?’ 
Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross beyond the sea for us and bring it to us, and make us hear it so that we may do it?’ 
But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it. 
See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 
in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, walk in his ways, and keep his commandments, his statutes, and his judgments. Then you shall live and multiply, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. 
But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, and you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and serve them, 
I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You shall not prolong your days on the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. 
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today: I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life, so that you and your descendants may live, 
loving the LORD your God, listening to his voice, and holding fast to him, for he is your life and the length of your days, so that you may live on the land the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
