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,
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
;
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.
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:
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
.
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
.
And the LORD thy God
will put
all these curses
upon thine enemies
, and on them that hate
thee, which persecuted
thee.
And thou shalt return and obey
the voice
of the LORD
, and do
all his commandments
which I command
thee this day
.
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
:
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
.
For this commandment which I command
thee this day
, it is not hidden
from thee, neither is it far off
.
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?
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?
But the word is very
nigh
unto thee, in thy mouth
, and in thy heart
, that thou mayest do
it.
See, I have set
before
thee this day
life
and good
, and death
and evil
;
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.
But if thine heart turn away
, so that thou wilt not hear
, but shalt be drawn away
, and worship
other
gods
, and serve
them;
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.
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
:
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.
