Deuteronomy 30
- 1
- And 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 the LORD thy God
hath driven thee,
- 2
- And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey
his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy
children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
- 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.
- 4
- If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of
heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he
fetch thee:
- 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.
- 6
- And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and
the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with
all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
- 7
- And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon
thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
- 8
- And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD,
and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
- 9
- And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every
work of thine 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:
- 10
- If thou shalt hearken unto 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 turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and
with all thy soul.
- 11
- For this commandment which I command thee this day, it
is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
- 12
- It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall
go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
- 13
- Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say,
Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it,
and do it?
- 14
- But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and
in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
- 15
- See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and
death and evil;
- 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.
- 17
- But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not
hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
- 18
- I denounce unto 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.
- 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:
- 20
- That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou
mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy
life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the
LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
