30:1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things have come
upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before
thee, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations
whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
30:2 And shalt return to the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his
voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and
thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;
30:3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and
have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from
all the nations whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
30:4 If [any] of thine shall be driven out to the outmost
[parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather
thee, and from thence will he bring thee:
30:5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which
thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it: and he will
do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the
heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
30:7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thy
enemies, and on them that hate thee, who persecuted thee.
30:8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and
do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
30:9 And the LORD thy God will make thee to abound in every work
of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy
cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD
will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy
fathers:
30:10 If thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to
keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in
this book of the law, [and] if thou shalt turn to the LORD thy
God with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it
[is] not hid from thee, neither [is] it far off.
30:12 It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldst say, Who shall
ascend for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that we may hear
it, and do it?
30:13 Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldst say,
Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we
may hear it, and do it?
30:14 But the word [is] very nigh to thee, in thy mouth, and in
thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and
death and evil;
30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God,
to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his
statutes, and his judgments, that thou mayest live and
multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land
whither thou goest to possess it.
30:17 But if thy heart shall turn away, so that thou wilt not
hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and
serve them;
30:18 I denounce to you this day, that ye shall surely perish,
[and that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land,
whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
30:19 I 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 thou and thy seed may
live:
30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou
mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave to him (for
he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days) that thou mayest
dwell in the land which the LORD swore to thy fathers, to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
