"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 LORD
your God
has banished
you,
and you areturn to the LORD
your God
and 1obey
Him bwith all
your heart
and soul
according to all
that I command
you today
, you and your sons
,
then the LORD your God
will arestore
1you from captivity
, and have
compassion
on you, and bwill gather
you again
from all
the peoples
where
the LORD
your God
has cscattered
you.
"If your outcasts
are at the ends
of the 1earth
, afrom there
the LORD
your God
will gather
you, and from there
He will 2bring
you back.
" aThe LORD 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
.
"Moreover athe LORD your God
will circumcise
your heart
and the heart
of your 1descendants
, bto love
the LORD
your God
with all
your heart
and with all
your soul
, so
that you may live
.
" aThe LORD your God
will 1inflict
all
these
curses
on your enemies
and on those who hate
you, who
persecuted
you.
"And you shall again 1obey
the LORD
, and observe
all
His commandments
which
I command
you today
.
" aThen the LORD 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 LORD
will again
rejoice
over
you for good
, just
as He rejoiced
over
your fathers
;
1if you 2obey
the LORD
your God
to keep
His commandments
and His statutes
which aare written
in this
book
of the law
, 1if
you turn
to the LORD
your God
bwith all
your heart
and soul
.
"For this commandment
which
I command
you today
is not too
difficult
for you, nor
is it 1out of reach
.
"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?'
"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?'
"But the word is very
near
you, in your mouth
and in your heart
, that you may observe
it.
"See, aI have set
before
you today
life
and 1prosperity
, and death
and 2adversity
;
in that I command you today
ato love
the LORD
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 LORD
your God
may bless
you in the land
where
you are entering
to possess
it.
"But if your heart
turns
away
and you will not obey
, but are drawn
away
and worship
other
gods
and serve
them,
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.
" 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
,
aby loving the LORD
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 LORD
swore
to your fathers
, to Abraham
, Isaac
, and Jacob
, to give
them."
