Deuteronomy Chapter 30

Deuteronomy Chapter 30
1 Now when all these things shall come
upon thee, either the blessing or the
curse which I have set before thee, and
thou shalt turn into thine heart, among all
the nations whither the Lord thy God
hath driven thee,
2 And shalt return unto the Lord thy God,
and obey his voice in all that I command
thee this day: thou, and thy children with
all thine heart and with all thy soul,
3 Then the Lord thy God will cause thy
captives to return, and have compassion
upon thee, and will return, to gather thee
out of all the people, where the Lord thy
God had scattered thee.
4 Though thou werest cast unto the
utmost part of heaven, from thence will
the Lord thy God gather thee, and from
thence will he take 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 show thee
favor, and will multiply thee above thy
fathers.
6 And the Lord thy God will circumcise
thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, that
thou mayest 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 lay all
these curses upon thine enemies, and on
them, that hate thee, and that persecute
thee.
8 Return thou therefore, 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 the land for
thy wealth: for the Lord will turn again,
and rejoice over thee to do thee good, as
he rejoiced over thy fathers,
10 Because thou shalt obey the voice of
the Lord thy God, in keeping his
commandments, and his ordinances,
which are written in the book of this
law, when thou shalt return unto the Lord
thy God with all thine heart and with all
thy soul.
11 For this commandment which I
command thee this day, is not hid 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 us, and cause us to hear it,
that we may do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou
shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea
for us, and bring it us, and cause us to
hear it, that we may do it?
14 But the word is very near unto thee:
even in thy mouth and in thine heart, for
to do it.
15 Behold, I have set before thee this
day life and good, 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
ordinances, and his laws that thou
mayest live and be multiplied, and that
the Lord thy God may bless thee in the
land, whither thou goest to possess it.
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that
thou wilt not obey, but shalt be seduced
and worship other gods, and serve them,
18 I pronounce unto you this day, that ye
shall surely perish, ye shall not prolong
your days in the land, whither thou
passest over Jordan 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 By loving the Lord thy God, by
obeying his voice, and by cleaving unto
him: for he is thy life, and the length of
thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the
land which the Lord swear unto thy
fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to
give them.
