Deuteronomy 30

And it will be, if all these things have come on you, the blessings and the curses that I have set to your faces, and you return to your heart among all the nations where God your God has driven you there,

and you return to God your God and listen to his voice, according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your sons, with all your heart and with all your soul,

then God your God will turn back your captivity and have compassion on you, and he will return and gather you from all the peoples where God your God has scattered you there. \*

If your scattered people are in the end of the heavens, from there God your God will gather you, and from there he will take you.

And God your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, and you will possess it, and he will do you good and will multiply you more than your fathers. \*

And God your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your seed, to the love of God your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.

And God your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on haters of you, who pursued you.

And you will return and listen to the voice of God, and you will do all his commandments that I am commanding you today. \*

And God your God will give you prosperity in all the work of your hand and in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground, for goodness; for God will again rejoice over you for goodness, as he rejoiced over your fathers,

if you listen to the voice of God your God, keeping his commandments and his statutes written in this book of the law, if you return to God your God with all your heart and with all your soul. \*

For this commandment that I am commanding you today is not {too} wonderful for you, and it is not far away.

It {is} not in heaven, saying, ‘Who will go up for us to heaven and take it to us and cause us to hear it, and let us do it?’ \*

And it {is} not beyond the sea, saying, ‘Who will go over to beyond the sea for us and take it to us and cause us to hear it and let us do it?’

But the word {is} very near to you, in your mouth and your heart, so that you may do it. \*

See, today I have set to your faces life and good and death and evil.

What I am commanding you today is to love God your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, and you will live and multiply, and God your God will bless you in the land which you are going into to possess it. \*

But if your heart turns away and you do not listen but are drawn away and bow down to other gods and serve them,

I announce to you today that perishing you will perish; you will not prolong {your} days in the land which you are crossing over the Jordan to go into to possess it. \*

I call the heavens and the earth to witness against you today: I have set to your faces life and death, the blessings and the curses; that you would choose life that you may live, you and your seed,

to love God your God, to listen to his voice, and to cling to him—for he {is} your life and the length of your days—so you may live in the land that God swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.” \*
