30:1And it shall come to pass, when all these
things are 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
Jehovah thy
God hath driven thee,
30:2and shalt return unto
Jehovah 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;
30:3that then
Jehovah thy
God will turn thy captivity, and have
compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither
Jehovah thy
God hath scattered thee.
30:4If
any of thine outcasts be in the uttermost parts of
heaven, from thence will
Jehovah thy
God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
30:5and
Jehovah 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.
30:6And
Jehovah thy
God will circumcise thy
heart, and the
heart of thy
seed, to
love Jehovah thy
God with all thy
heart, and with all thy
soul, that thou mayest live.
30:7And
Jehovah thy
God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that
hate thee, that persecuted thee.
30:8And thou shalt return and obey the
voice of
Jehovah, and do all his
commandments which I command thee this
day.
30:9And
Jehovah thy
God will make thee plenteous in all the
work of thy
hand, in the fruit of thy
body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy
ground, for
good: for
Jehovah will again rejoice over thee for
good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers;
30:10if thou shalt obey the
voice of
Jehovah thy
God, to keep his
commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the
law; if thou turn unto
Jehovah thy
God with all thy
heart, and with all thy
soul.
30:11For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off.30:12It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? 30:13Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? 30:14But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
30:15See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 30:16in that I command thee this day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest in to possess it. 30:17But if thy heart turn away, and thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 30:18I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days in the land, whither thou passest over the Jordan to go in to possess it. 30:19I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed; 30:20to love Jehovah thy God, to obey his voice, and to cleave unto him; for he is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
