Deuteronomy 30
1 And it shall come to pass when all these things shall have come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before your face, and you shall call [them] to mind amongst all the nations, wherein the Lord shall have scattered you,
“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,
2 and shall return to the Lord your God, and shall listen to his voice, according to all things which I charge you this day, with all your heart, and with all your soul;
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,
3 then the Lord shall heal your iniquities, and shall pity you, and shall again gather you out from all the nations, amongst which the Lord has scattered you.
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.
4 If your dispersion be from one end of heaven to the other, thence will the Lord your God gather you, and thence will the Lord your God take you.
Even if you have been banished to the farthest horizon, He will gather you and return you from there.
5 And the Lord your God shall bring you in from thence into the land which your fathers have inherited, and you shall inherit it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers.
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.
6 And the Lord shall purge your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.
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.
7 And the Lord your God will put these curses upon your enemies, and upon those that hate you, who have persecuted you.
Then the LORD your God will put all these curses upon your enemies who hate you and persecute you.
8 And you shall return and listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and shall keep his commands, all that I charge you this day.
And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and follow all His commandments I am giving you today.
9 And the Lord your God shall bless you in every work of your hands, in the offspring of your body, and in the offspring of your cattle, and in the fruits of your land, because the Lord your God will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers:
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 goodness, as He delighted in that of your fathers,
10 if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his judgements written in the book of this law, if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.
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.
11 For this command which I give you this day is not grievous, neither is it far from you.
For this commandment I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.
12 It is not in heaven above, [as if there were one] saying, Who shall go up for us into heaven, and shall take it for us, and we will hear and do it?
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?’
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, saying, Who will go over for us to the other side of the sea, and take it for us, and make it audible to us, and we will do it?
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?’
14 The word is very near you, in your mouth, and in your heart, and in your hands to do it.
But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.
15 Behold, I have set before you this day life and death, good and evil.
See, I have set before you today life and goodness, as well as death and disaster.
16 If you will listen to the commands of the Lord your God, which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his ordinances, and his judgements; then you shall live, and shall be many in number, and the Lord your God shall bless you in all the land into which you go to inherit it.
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.
17 But if your heart change, and you will not listen, and you shall go astray and worship other gods, and serve them,
But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,
18 I declare to you this day, that you shall utterly perish, and you shall by no means live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
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.
19 I call both heaven and earth to witness this day against you, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: choose you life, that you and your seed may live;
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,
20 to love the Lord your God, to listen to his voice, and cleave to him; for this [is] your life, and the length of your days, that you should dwell upon the land, which the Lord sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.
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.”
