Deuteronomy 30
- 1And when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where the Lord your God has driven you,
- 2And shall return to the Lord your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul.
- 3That then the Lord your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the nations, where the Lord your God has scattered you.
- 4If any of yours be driven out to the farthest parts of heaven, from there will the Lord your God gather you, and from there he will get you:
- 5And the Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers.
- 6And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.
- 7And the Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, which persecuted you.
- 8And you shall return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandments which I command you this day.
- 9And the Lord your God will make you full of every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, for good. For the Lord will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers:
- 10If you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his decrees which are written in this book of the law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.
- 11For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off.
- 12It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it?
- 13Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it?
- 14But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.
- 15I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil.
- 16In that I command you this day to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his laws and his judgments, that you may live and multiply: and the Lord your God shall bless you in the land where you go to possess it.
- 17But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them.
- 18I denounce to you this day, that you shall surely perish, and that you shall not prolong your days on the land, where you pass over Jordan to go to possess it.
- 19I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.
- 20That you may love the Lord your God, and that you may obey his voice, and that you may cling to him. For he is your life, and the length of your days: that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
