Deuteronomy 30
1 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,
2 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; 3 That then the
LORD thy
God will
turn thy
captivity, and have
compassion upon thee, and will re
turn and
gather thee from all the
nations, whither the
LORD thy
God hath
scattered thee.
4 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:
5 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. 6 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. 7 And the
LORD thy
God will
put all these
curses upon thine
enemies, and on them that
hate thee, which
persecuted thee.
8 And thou shalt
return 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 thy
land, for
good: for the
LORD will
again rejoice over thee for
good, as he
rejoiced over thy
fathers: 10 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. 11 For this
commandment which I
command thee this
day, it is not
hidden 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 unto us, that we may
hear it, and
do it?
13 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?
14 But the
word is
very nigh unto thee, in thy
mouth, and in thy
heart, that thou mayest
do it.
15 See, I have
set before thee this
day life and
good, and
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
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.
17 But if thine
heart turn
away, so that thou wilt not
hear, but shalt be drawn
away, and
worship other gods, and
serve them;
18 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.
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 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.
