Deuteronomy_Chapter 30

All these curses that I have declared before you have come upon you. You will remember the words of blessing in your heart among the nations where the Lord your God is chasing you.

If you and your descendants return to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul, and obey his words as I have commanded you today.

At that time, the Lord your God will have mercy on you and rescue you, this captive people. The Lord your God will turn around and gather you back from all the people who scattered you.

The Lord your God will gather you back from those who have been scattered, even those who are at the end of the earth.

The Lord your God will bring you into the land that your ancestors have obtained, so that you can obtain it. And I will treat you well, so that your number may be greater than that of your ancestors.

The Lord your God will remove the filth from your heart and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul, so that you may live.

The Lord your God will impose all these curses on your enemies and those who hate you and persecute you.

You will return, obey the word of the Lord, and do all his commandments, which I have commanded you today.

If you obey the voice of the Lord your God, keep the commandments and laws written in this book of the law, and return to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul, he will make everything you do in your hands more than enough, including what you give birth to, what your livestock give birth to, and what the earth gives birth to. For the Lord will rejoice in you and bless you, just as he did in your ancestors before.

The commandment I command you today is not difficult for you to follow, nor is it far from you.

It is not in heaven that you say, Who will take it down from heaven for us, so that we can hear and do it?

It’s not overseas, so you say, who crossed the sea for us and brought it, so that we can hear and follow it?

But these words are very close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do them.

See, today I present before you life and good, death and evil.

Command you to love the Lord your God, walk in his ways, and keep his commandments, laws, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase in number. Then the Lord your God will bless you in the land where you are going to enter and possess it.

If your heart deviates and you refuse to listen, but you are tempted to worship and serve other gods,

I tell you today that you will surely perish. Your days will not last long in the land where you cross the Jordan River and enter to possess it.

I summon the heavens and earth to witness to you today. I declare life, death, misfortune, and good fortune before you, so choose life so that you and your descendants may live.

And love the Lord your God, obey his voice, and trust in him. Because he is your life, and you care about him for a long time. So that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
