Restoration Promised
1 “So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, Athe blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you 1call them to mind Bin all nations where the Loʀᴅ your God has banished you, 2 and you Areturn to the Loʀᴅ your God and 1obey Him Bwith all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons, 3 then the Loʀᴅ your God will Arestore 1you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and Bwill gather you again from all the peoples where the Loʀᴅ your God has Cscattered you. 4  “If your outcasts are at the ends of the 1earth, Afrom there the Loʀᴅ your God will gather you, and from there He will 2bring you back. 5  “AThe Loʀᴅ your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and Bmultiply you more than your fathers.
6 “Moreover Athe Loʀᴅ your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your 1descendants, Bto love the Loʀᴅ your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live. 7  “AThe Loʀᴅ your God will 1inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. 8  “And you shall again 1obey the Loʀᴅ, and observe all His commandments which I command you today. 9  “AThen the Loʀᴅ your God will 1prosper you abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the 2offspring of your 3body and in the 2offspring of your cattle and in the 2produce of your ground, for Bthe Loʀᴅ will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers; 10  1if you 2obey the Loʀᴅ your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which Aare written in this book of the law, 1if you turn to the Loʀᴅ your God Bwith all your heart and soul.
11 “For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it 1out of reach. 12  “It is not in heaven, 1that you should say, ‘AWho will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?’ 13  “Nor is it beyond the sea, 1that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?’ 14  “But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it.
Choose Life
15 “See, AI have set before you today life and 1prosperity, and death and 2adversity; 16 in that I command you today Ato love the Loʀᴅ your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you Bmay live and multiply, and that the Loʀᴅ your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it. 17  “But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today that Ayou shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter 1and possess it. 19  “AI call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, Bthe blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your 1descendants, 20  Aby loving the Loʀᴅ your God, by obeying His voice, and Bby holding fast to Him; Cfor 1this is your life and the length of your days, 2that you may live in Dthe land which the Loʀᴅ swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
