Deut 30
1
And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon you, the blessing and
the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all
the nations, where YHWH your God has driven you,
2
and shall return to YHWH your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that
I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your
soul;
3
that then YHWH your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion upon you, and
will return and gather you from all the peoples, where YHWH your God has scattered
you.
4
If [any of] your outcasts be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there will YHWH
your God gather you, and from there will he fetch you:
5
and YHWH your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you
shall possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers.
6
And YHWH your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love
YHWH your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.
7
And YHWH your God will put all these curses upon your enemies, and on them that hate
you, that persecuted you.
8
And you shall return and obey the voice of YHWH, and do all his commandments which
I command you this day.
9
And YHWH your God will make you plenteous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit
of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, for
good: for YHWH will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers;
10
if you shall obey the voice of YHWH your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes
which are written in this book of the law; if you turn to YHWH your God with all your
heart, and with all your soul.
11
For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither
is it far off.
12
It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring
it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?
13
Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us,
and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?
14
But the word is very nigh to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do
it.
15
See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil;
16
in that I command you this day to love YHWH your God, to walk in his ways, and to
keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply,
and that YHWH your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.
17
But if your heart turn away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship
other gods, and serve them;
18
I denounce to you this day, that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your
days in the land, where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it.
19
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you
life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live,
you and your seed;
20
to love YHWH your God, to obey his voice, and to cleave to him; for he is your life,
and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which YHWH swore to your
fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
